GRANBURY, Texas - An overnight fire destroyed a historic building in the Hood County city of Granbury, southwest of Fort Worth.
Several fire departments teamed up to put out the flames at the Nutt House Hotel in the town square early Thursday morning.
First responders had to shut down the streets of the square so that they could use ladder trucks to fight the fire from above.

The hotel building, which was built by the Nutt brothers in 1893, had been closed for a major renovation.
