On the night of Tuesday, June 15, a major structural beam in the Long Room broke, bringing the plank ceiling down with it. The failure was discovered early Wednesday morning. The c. 1830s Pennyslvania "barn frame" loom, built sturdily of square oak timbers, effectively stopped the ceiling and connecting beam (which came loose from its mortise when its partner failed) from crashing down. Everyone marveled at the good fortune that the loom was so placed—otherwise, the damage could have been much greater. The loom sustained no significant damage. The artifacts usually found in the original inn building (attic to basement) have been removed and are stored. The office, now in the meeting room, is open for business as usual.
