VIDEO: A historic home that neighbors say was the backdrop for music videos like Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus, Take the Wheel” has burned down. The home was off Highway 70 in Watertown.
Wilson County investigators are working to find out what caused the fire on Monday. Only the chimney is still standing after a fire at the century-old home in Watertown.
Watertown residents say it’s been an icon in town. Breanna Rutter was driving to an appointment when she noticed the smoke on Monday afternoon. She called 911.
“When I say huge flames, it was the first thing I saw when I went around the bend,” Rutter said. “Bright orange flames billowing out of the upstairs window.”
