It's a shame when one of these old buildings is lost. Could you tell us a little bit more about that the Emmit house?

It was said to be haunted and was featured on some TV shows doing fliming sessions...can "Google" for more on that.

Most likely was heated by coal at some point...maybe there are "ghosts" w/ shovels. :P
