"I want to say the 80’s or 90’s.

"Probably someone started the fire," said Lourdes Serrano, a nearby resident. "It’s weird how fast ."The fire erupted with massive flames. Ash quickly spread to nearby homes."It was kind of scary knowing that there was that big of a fire right there and knowing it after the fact, like oh dang it could have reached our house," said Starcev.A placard could be seen hanging on the building Saturday that says it was built in 1897.
