Facade falls, forcing occupants out of homes

Date:

portion of facade missing from side of building

On Sunday, June 25 it was discovered that a portion of the south-facing facade at 629 N Main had fallen off the building, causing damage to the roof at Rainbow Delight and forcing the occupants out of their homes.

According to reports, residents were allowed back into the upper apartments by Friday to collect their personal items, but the building has been officially closed to all entry.

The building "will remain barricaded pending inspection," said Garretson building inspector JR Hofer. Until that time, cars are not allowed to park on the street or enter the alley adjoining.

Once a full inspection is completed, it will be decided if the building needs to be officially condemned.
