PORTSMOUTH

Norfolk Naval Shipyard officials hope to restore a historic home that has housed the facility's commanders since the 1800s. It was heavily damaged Tuesday in an early morning fire.

Known as Quarters "A," the stately brick house was built in 1837 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

With wide windows and two staircases leading to the front door, the home's interior boasts Italian marble fireplaces, large archways and two kitchens. Enclosed porches look out over lush grounds.

Outside the house Tuesday afternoon, the air smelled of smoke. A gaping hole took the place of the middle top-story window, and there was a wide, blackened hole in the roof.

The top floor was "engulfed" when firefighters arrived, said Jeff Cunningham, a shipyard spokesman.

"This was a major fire with very significant damage," Cunningham said.

He said it will take time to determine exactly how much work will have to be done, but "our goal is to restore it as it was.

"Absolutely."

EDWARDSVILLE Two front porches were damaged and two cars were smashed during a wreck on Church Street Tuesday afternoon.

Authorities told Newswatch 16 that a 17-year-old driver was taken to the hospital, after the car he was driving smashed into a front porch, a parked car and a utility pole around 1 p.m.

The parked car was shoved onto the front porch of another home, and utility lines dropped onto the street after the utility pole snapped.

People who live nearby said theyre worried about the young driver who was taken to the hospital, but theyre thankful that their home was not damaged.

It was loud, so loud that I left the house and came outside here. I looked up the street and I saw the crash, said Michelle Salgado. Very lucky, thank God on that one. Ive got five kids so Im very lucky.

The teenage driver was treated and released from the hospital.

Police believe he was speeding when he crashed and said charges or citations will be filed.
