Michael Beal says nobody was hurt but the town has lost a landmark building that employed about 60 people.

He says the business has been in the community since 1852, and the building has been restored once due to a previous fire.

Beal says that the flames were extinguished early today after a number of fire departments came to the assistance of the volunteer fire department in the town.

The administrator says firefighters are still on the scene damping down the embers of the destroyed building.
