Not just any roof, either, but the roof of the old B&O roundhouse.

Early this morning Monday February 17, 2003 the Iron Structure of the
1884 Baldwin Roundhouse at the B&O Railroad Museum collapsed under the
weight of the snow. We are thankful that no one was in the museum and we
are working with the Baltimore City Fire Department and structural
engineers to stabilize the building. The B&O Railroad Museum will be
closed until further notice while
we work with our team and engineer professionals to assess the damage as
well as work to extricate the pieces of the collection contained in the
Roundhouse. Upon further evaluation it is our hope to provide information
about the museum reopening and upcoming special events.
