Lot Set
 |
Did the Universal Studios back lot set specifically the Court House Square facade burn down completely?
There are conflicting reports.... some say burned down completely and others say the actual Court House facade is still salvageable. Which is correct? If you have first hand knowlege, please answer.
Most of the Courthouse Square was burned down, but the Courthouse Square facade and the town facade to the north are still standing. I saw with my own eyes two weeks ago, and I've seen the backlot before the fire and after it.

And for a list of what actually burned despite some rumors and speculation:
* New York City streetscape: Used in countless movies and television shows. This set burned once before, in 1990, and was rebuilt.
* King Kong: The King Kong exhibit on the Universal Studios tour. The exhibit included a 30-foot-tall moving model of King Kong.
* “Back to the Future” set: The town square, including the courthouse area and the clock tower that plays a central roll in the film.
* Video vaults: These vaults contained videos of numerous Universal-produced TV series and movies. Firefighters managed to remove some of the videotapes. “Nothing is lost forever,” Universal President Ron Meyer said of the videos.
* Soundstage: At least one full soundstage.
