It survived the terrible fire of 1904 and the Great Flood of 1927, but time finally caught up with the Gilruth building.
The historic downtown building collapsed Monday night, bringing down a wall of the J.F. Oakes building next door with it.
Fire Marshal Kenny Lewis said a police officer came upon the collapsed building at around 10:30 p.m. No one was injured.
