LYSSA PAPAZIAN of the Putney Historical Society stands inside the closed Putney General Store earlier this week in Putney, Vermont. Originally built in the late 1700s, the store was heavily damaged by fire in 2008 and, as repairs were nearing completion a year later, was destroyed by an arson fire. It was rebuilt again and reopened in 2011. Now the general store and pharmacy is closed again due to the death of its pharmacist. The historical society, which owns the building, hopes to find someone to run a new store in the structure.
