The fire broke out shortly before 7 a.m. Thursday and drew a rapid response from firefighters.
They say the building was fully engulfed in flames when they arrived.
At one point, they were concerned the entire structure might collapse.
Hall said it appeared the fire may have been started by someone, possibly squatters who had gotten inside by removing boards from the windows.
An arson team was called in to investigate.
