St. Louis Post-Dispatch

By the press stab
A fire that destroyed a building on
legendary musician Chuck Berry's property was
intentionally set, Wentzville fire officials said Friday.
The investigation is continuing, said
Austin Worcester, assistant chief for the Wentzville
Fire Protection District.
"Now it's a matter of trying to determine who and why," he said.
No one was injured in the blaze, which
began about 6:30 p.m. Sept. 20. The building,
a one-story wooden structure, was once a guest house but more recently had been
used
for storage.
Berry was in New York at the time of the
blaze, Worcester said. The building is on Buckner Road,
near Wentzville.
