A fire damaged the Susan B. Anthony Museum and House in Rochester, New York on Sunday, before firefighters put out the blaze and rescued artifacts inside
The Rochester Fire Department responded around 1:00 a.m. to an automatic fire alarm at the residence that once belonged to Anthony, a leader of the women's suffrage movement. The fire burned through the home's back porch.The Rochester Fire Investigation Unit listed the cause of the fire as suspicious, but the final cause remains undetermined and is still under investigation, RFD spokesperson Lt Jeffrey Simpson told CNN.
"There was some minor extension into the building because it broke through the door, but it was only some water and smoke damage on the first floor."The home was built in 1859, and Anthony lived in the home -- which also became headquarters of the National American Woman Suffrage Association -- from 1866 to 1906, the year she died.
