A former church in Toledo, Ohio, was demolished following a fire that is still under investigation.
A fire at the former St Agnes church building was reported at around 6:30am on Saturday, September 5, said local newspaper the Toledo Blade. Firefighters battled and extinguished the flames, but the roof of the church was completely burned away and the building’s steeple collapsed.
Work demolishing the building began Saturday afternoon and continued into Sunday morning.
Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz lamented the loss of “truly one of the most beautiful churches in Toledo”, but said he was heartened that nobody was hurt in the fire.
