Building collapses in downtown Russellville
RUSSELLVILLE — High winds claimed a building in downtown Russellville Sunday morning.
The building at 213 S. Harrison St. fell in, joining the two structures to its south which are already falling down.
The structure in question is on the east side of Harrison Street, immediately south of Russellville Town Hall.
During its most recent meeting less than a week ago, the Russellville Town Council discussed purchasing the neglected building.
The Putnam County Commissioners are already in the process of purchasing the damaged structures at 215 and 219 S. Harrison St. in hopes of razing them, selling the property and getting them back on the tax rolls.
High winds in the area, which have been measured as high as 54 mph on Sunday also caused the partial collapse of two buildings in downtown Cloverdale.
