About two dozen bricks fell Monday from a third-story facade at 57 W. Chestnut St., Washington, but there were no injuries and damage was limited to a vacant storefront on the first floor.

The bricks tumbled onto the sidewalk around 10:45 a.m., city police said. Glass on the door at that address was broken.

The building, at 53 and 57 W. Chestnut, has apartments on the top two floors and two unoccupied storefronts. It is located between a Community Bank branch office and Moschetta Performing Arts Center.

Police shut down that block of West Chestnut into the afternoon, and said the street level near the building will be barricaded temporarily. Washington Fire Department responded.

The building, according to police, is owned by Thannatas Chira-O-Ranpat. They had no other details.
