JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Days after a massive fire tore through a historic building in Downtown Jacksonville, crews tore down the old funeral home Wednesday morning.
Intense flames could be seen from blocks away on Saturday as more than 140 firefighters battled the blaze in the abandoned Moulton and Kyle Funeral Home on Union Street. They kept the fire from spreading to nearby buildings, including a 7-Eleven next door.
In one hour, the building, which held 107 years of history, was destroyed and the roof and second floor had collapsed.
