As of Friday morning, crews had demolished the partially collapsed, condemned building at 305. E. Spring St. in St. Marys into a pile of building materials and random household items. Christopher R. Brown, 41, died and another unidentified man was injured when the southwest corner of the two-story building fell on Thursday morning. Auglaize County CERT is collecting funds and clothing for two tenants from the building who were displaced. Monetary donations can be made directly to "Auglaize County-CERT" through Venmo (label "SM Bldg").
