CROWN POINT â The city took steps Wednesday to deem a home unsafe after a fire tore through the structure in early April.Â
The 19th-century home at 812 E. Monitor St. caught fire last month and suffered significant damage, Â Crown Point Assistant Fire Chief Mark Baumgardner said previously.Â
No one was injured in the blaze, however, turtles, snakes and other reptiles were rescued from the home, the original part of which was built in 1880, according to Lake County assessor records.Â
The single-family home had been converted into an apartment building with three units, only one of which was occupied at the time of the fire, Baumgardner said previously.Â
