Photographs taken by NOFD show the abandoned wood-frame building nearly destroyed by the fire which fire officials say they responded to at about 1:00 Sunday morning.
About 30 minutes later a second and then a third alarm was called in to help contain the fire.
It is unclear what caused the fire. No one was injured in the blaze. The fire is under investigation.
