PRICHARD, Alabama --
An abandoned building that most locals know as the Harlem Duke Social Club was completely destroyed by a fire Thursday night in Prichard.
The building, which is located off of Highway 65 and Highway 45, was completely engulfed in flames by the time crews arrived around 8:30pm.
Fire Chief Mark Trenier says they don't know how the fire started, or even if anyone was inside at the time. As of 10:30pm Thursday they had not recovered any victims.
Power was cut off to the entire block for about two hours, but is expected to return before midnight. Police blocked off the street and redirected traffic.
Chief Trenier estimated about 15 of his firemen were on scene, using three trucks to extinguish the flames. He expects them to be working the whole night and into the morning.
While News 5 was on scene around 9:45pm the roof of the building and exterior walls completely collapsed.
The fire appeared to be isolated, and had not spread to surrounding areas.
The Harlem Duke Social Club had been closed for years. Neighbors on scene tell News 5 the building is now owned by the Friendship Baptist Church across the street, but was not being used for anything.
