A two-story brick edifice that has faced West Union Street for 107 years came tumbling down Wednesday morning, demolished by the city after a huge fire gutted the former funeral home late Saturday.
Jacksonville s inspection division took only a day to approve an emergency demolition order for the abandoned Moulton & Kyle Funeral Home downtown, then crews from J. B. Coxwell Contracting began pulling the charred brick walls down early Wednesday.
The fire in the building near North Laura Street was reported about 5:30 p.m. Saturday, police said. The blaze required 110 firefighters to extinguish it as it gutted the interior of the building, shuttered in 2013, then the roof and second story collapsed.

Ohio University’s Athens campus will serve as a location where Phase 1a recipients can receive the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine through a collaboration between the University and the Athens City-County Health Department.
Beginning in January 2021, the Athens City-County Health Department will offer vaccine clinics to frontline workers at the newly-opened Heritage Hall. Located on West Union Street in Athens, Heritage Hall is the new home to the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine.
“The Athens City-County Health Department has been a critical alliance throughout the pandemic to keep our community safe,” Ohio University President M. Duane Nellis said. “We are so pleased to offer space in our new state-of-the-art medical facility to roll out vaccines in Athens.”
