Built in 1923, the Dyar house was used as both a museum in Cuyamaca State Park as well as the headquarters for nearly a dozen employees. But in the Cedar fire of October 2003 the building was gutted. Many of the artifacts it held were stored in the basement. While indian baskets and other perishable items were likely destroyed, it may be that many other items survived. But Federal safety regs have forbidden archeologists from entering the building to sort through the rubble. Maybe we need to wait until the next civilization decides to take a look? ~B
