LACONIA, N.H. \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

The arraignments of two men accused of being involved in a fire at Kimball Castle have been delayed.<\/p>\n

Peyton Eastman, 19, and Joshua Pittman, 18, were indicted by a Belknap County grand jury last month. <\/p>\n

The indictment said Eastman knowingly started a fire at the historic Kimball Castle in Gilford in August 2025. Pittman is accused of helping the fire grow. <\/p>\n

Eastman and Pittman were originally scheduled to be arraigned at Laconia District Court Thursday morning. Eastman was there in person, but Pittman was not.<\/p>\n

While Eastman’s arraignment was happening, the deputy county attorney stepped in to say the case was upgraded to Belknap Superior Court. <\/p>\n

Pittman is now scheduled to be arraigned Friday, while Eastman will be arraigned Oct. 15.<\/p>\n

Kimball Castle was built in the late 1890s and was on the National Register of Historic Places.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
