More than one year after a fire gutted the historic Bloomfield mansion, the owners are getting ready to rebuild it.

Owners Julie Charbonneau and Dean Topolinski met with Radnor Patch recently to talk about the accusations of arson against them and how they will rebuild their home.

This photo gallery is the first in a series of articles about the Bloomfield fire and how the couple plans on rebuilding.

This gallery of photos by Patch contributor Carla Zambelli shows the mansion the day after the fire on April 5, 2012.
