After being reported at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, the fire burned well into the night, leaving Licking County Sheriff's Office detectives to work with Winland to investigate the crime. Longaberger Co. had no plans for the structure that was originally built in 1802, and bought it in 1995 to help segregate a golf club from the surrounding area, company spokesman Tom Matthews said.
Arson was ruled to be the cause of a fire at a 208-year-old house owned by Longaberger at 1406 Seven Hills Road, Hanover Township as investigators eliminated all other causes, Licking County fire investigator Phil Winland said.
