Shreveport Transmission Shop Roof Collapse (end of Jordan Street)

During last week's heavy rain, the roof collapsed on a defunct transmission shop at the end of Jordan St. in Shreveport (near the railroad tracks and I-20). The man with Railroad Safety Consultants, who was nearby when the collapse occurred, said it "sounded like an explosion" and the sidewalls didn't fall down - they blew out. They had to clean a lot of brick off the tracks.
Because the building had no windows and was solid gray, a lot of photographers used it as a photo backdrop.
Most of these old buildings would be full of vagrants in a rain, but this one they could not break into.

It is at the end of Jordan St. down from Loyola H.S. It is along I 49 by the railroad bridge over I 49.
If you were coming out of downtown on Texas St. to go to Herby K's, it would be on your right just after you cross over I 20.

That's a whole lot of bricks.

They can go pick up some bricks and make their own backdrop now.

Looks like the building needed to go.

There were bricks blown across the street. I thought the building had always been collapsed.
SFD was called on scene as a rescue because they thought people were inside.
