BOLTON (CBS) – Wind gusts brought a large tree down on a historic house in Bolton Friday night.
The tree snapped at about 8:45 p.m. and hit the roof, knocking down the chimney on the front part of the house. A branch also broke out a second-floor window.
Power had to be cut to the home because the tree also brought down a live electric wire.
The home on Long Hill Road was built in 1870 and is surrounded by old trees. No one was hurt.
