Another Roof Collapse?

Hey All -- was watching the Fox News last night and there was a 15 second blurb about another roof collaping in Laconia??

As I was only half listening to the TV at the time, I missed the details ...... something about an older building under renovations as a Condo? The quick video looked as though the building was on the waterfront (what water unknown).

Anyone shed more light on where / what it is ?

I took a drive by the Irwin Building and the Weirs Building last weekend. The Irwin Building was ropped off and they would not allow you to get to close. The Weirs building is caution taped off. You can get real close to that one as it sits right in the road. It looks like the sides buckled. The most recent Laconia building was closer to down town near the rt 106/rt 3 intesection.
