EAST
GREENBUSH -- It was a prank that led
to the destruction of a historic East Greenbush farmhouse. East Greenbush Police
say four teenagers set fire to the Kospa Family farmhouse at 99 Stuart Avenue
last Wednesday.
Flames tore through the building for at least a half hour before
fire crews were notified. When six fire departments arrived at the scene the
fire was already fully involved. 16-year-old Thomas Snyder of East Greenbush was
arrested and charged with Arson, Reckless Endangerment, and Criminal
Mischief. Three 15-year-olds have also been charged with Arson. Because they are
minors, they will not be identified and their case is being handled in family
court.
The farmhouse was built during the Dutch colonial
times and had been vacant for years. No one was injured in the fire.
