The sound of the collapse could he heard up to 1/4 mile away. The rear section of roof, which faces Interstate 495, had fallen in, while the front section that faces the parking lot and Macy Street (Route 110) appeared intact.
Firefighters were on the scene, assessing the damage.
Town assessors record list the owner as Richard Leong; the building is assessed at $343,000.
