Photos showed a large pile of bricks and building signage in front of the restaurant.
Fire chief Michael Smalley said it appeared to be a structural failure, but that the state fire marshal is continuing to investigate.
Mayor Mike Holliday said Demi s was the only free-standing restaurant in town. It s going to hurt, Holliday admitted. We re hoping they can rebuild, but that will be down the road.
Smalley said other structures in the area date from around 1900. The restaurant was at the southwest end of a series of buildings that form the block.
An online business profile indicated that Demi s started in 2008, but Smalley said it was another restaurant, Sheann s, before that.
Michael Smalley from Wisbech died aged 14 at home in April last year.
