Farewell Bidwell

What are they teaching in schools these days? Bad white people stole land from injuns after unliving them and this would be considered some type of social justice? Probably. Even though he purchased the land from a Mexican that got the land from a Mexican Land Grant. But that part doesnt matter i guess. Bet they build a huge 10 story plus high density low income teacher student housing smart city bs complex now. California is disappearing more and more by the day. So sad.

The first thing I thought of was it could have been an arsonist hired by corporate developers! 😡

So so so sad .sorry for Chico to see it burn . So much history lost 😥😕

So my biggest problem in school was when I did Math my Teachers always complained when I didn't show my work. I said, "But did I get the wrong answer?" They said, "Not this time, but some day you might mess up and you need to know where you made the mistake." I disagreed with them, for years I continued to disagree with them. Now that I'm grown up, I realize they were 100% right. I was wrong, I see that now.

1st

Bidwell was a POS I don't get why people make him out to be a good person they obviously don't know his history. he enslaved the native people of that area and that mansion was built on a native village that he helped to destroy.

cash is super durty and most have drugs and germs on the bills.

Andrew se mira bien pendejo

Real state agencies going crazy....... Arson

Officer Herrera look cute lmaooo

❤❤❤

Oh weird so almost like those "alt-right conspiracy theorists" were right

White! No gender, no height-nothing. Maybe it was a ghost!

Oops. Usually construction crew mistake.

Gorgeous building!! Definitely cannot replace!

Oh nooo 🙏🏻🤟🏼🥲

Damn! Since the homeless, larcenous, vagabonds on stolen bicycles took over the once idyllic town a decade ago or so this was the only remaining symbol of what Chico once was, a nearly perfect, friendly and clean, tree-lined college town. Except for the trees it has now all been lost to the local leadership who gleefully let the homeless run it into the ground.

Cherish your memories, pretty soon that’s all we’ll have 😢

This is horrible. 😢

I have so many memories of the Bidwell Mansion. It's devastating.

I just dont get it

A time to reflect on what a great man John Bidwell was.

They should rebuild chico's china town

So sad this happened to this beautiful mansion.😢

This is what happens when you allow mentally disturbed, drug-addled criminals to occupy public spaces. It used to be illegal and enforced to trespass or do drugs in public. Sadly, as CA citizens, this is what we FKN get! And yes, We have allowed it!

💔😞🔥

I’ve worked on a lot of fire stations. In Northern California. I’ve worked on the museum. I’ve worked on the Stansberry house. I worked on The fire station near the upper Bidwell park entrance. I worked on Oroville CDF headquarters. I’ve done on-call fire fighting in N California. But honestly, I’m struggling to even know why we build these Barricks for the fire fighters and engine rooms for the firetrucks. I don’t know why we build offices for the administrators. Pictures seems like over the course of the last 30 years we really really do not put out fires anymore. Whether it’s fuel reduction out in the forest or it’s fuel reduction of a structure. It sure seems like they let these things go until they go out on their own. I recall working on the Johnson fire and other fires many years ago. We would mark in and cut fire lines but we don’t do that anymore. I don’t think. I don’t really know what to type in here today. I’m kind of just rambling on. The Museum with a huge loss. And I struggle to believe that fire stations weren’t close enough to the museum and that they could not have raced over there sooner. Why do we have a fire stations in 2024? I think there’s a lot of people out in the public that have stories to tell

SMH bid fare well 😮

About 20+ years ago the dentist house I think it’s called the Stansberry house. I shingled that. Also repair of the wood gutters on the upper upper roof. And I assessed a rear handmade metal roof. RE: the Bidwell home I have only done a little bit of wood shingle/shake work( roofing ). I see this as a huge loss. And I am absolutely dumbfounded how this could even happen. I cannot believe that our city/state/museum did not ensure that this construction site was protected.

Wow

The heart of Chico is gone. Sorry John and Annie.

Genuinely heartbreaking. On my daily morning walk I see it everyday now. I thought everything burned inside at least 10% was saved but thats the real loss imo. The mansion exterior can maybe be rebuilt with a lot of $ but they artifacts inside were priceless. The person responsible must pay (yes it was obviously arson)

So sad losing so much history.. the lives, the times, the architecture..they just don’t do it like they used to..😢

☂️🌨️❄️🌤️⛅️⛄️☔️🫧🌫️

Intentional erasure of history and evidence of the old world……Business as usual.

Wow, None of you See... no Surprise, my Father's Faithful are so very Few... a Focal Point of Real Evil was just Destroyed 😂😂😂 Oh how Joyful it is!!!

😢 So many memories. 😢

Not to accuse until we know but a possibility is all the homeless that live nearby might have wanted to spend the night indoors??Maybe warming up their soup kitchen greuel over an open fire??

I would argue that keeping somebody a slave in a box for seven years manipulating their brain to think that there is people watching them if they say anything should potentially get more time than murder. That is extremely sick minded. You can’t save people like that.

Why is it everytime something happens the schools have to shut down???

Foul play damn this country is going down the drains

I believe this building had fire sensors, was it disabled during the renovations? No one has brought this up.

Illegals

Open borders ruin countries

Probably done by the great erasers. Has anyone noticed how many historical buildings are being lost?? Symptoms of a reset attempt.

Olympia is destroying history as well....horrific

Our city destroyed the old Sherwood to put up garbage.this is awful to see!

Why was no watchman set?

Sickening.
