It’s been nearly two months since fire ripped through the chiropractic office of Dr. Robert Leach at the corner of Russell and Hogan streets.
Now, the veteran chiropractor is preparing to move back into the newly renovated structure, with a goal to be back in business by Nov. 1.
The inside of the building suffered such extensive smoke and heat damage during the Aug. 26 blaze that Leach believed he wouldn’t be able to return to the location. He spent the past two months treating patients out of his home on South Jackson Street and even began to look for new office space.
But construction crews over the past month have worked hard to rehabilitate the office. Crews had to strip the inside down and replace sheet rock, insulation, ceilings and electrical wiring, plus install a new roof, windows, ceiling and siding, among other things.
The blaze caused approximately $163,000 in inventory damage, with much of Leach’s chiropractic equipment getting marred beyond repair, he said.
