Rhodes, H. K. - 1943

ROOF BLOWN OFF
The Cove News building in Roaring Springs was unroofed during Sunday night’s wind storm.  The one story structure is 35 by 65 feet, and is located on East Main street.

The entire roof was torn off, electric wiring was torn out along with most of the fixtures with little or no damage to the interior of the plant.  Damage was estimated at between $500 and $600.  The building is owned by H. K. Rhodes and is occupied by The News, Roaring Spring’s weekly newspaper and job plant.
