At approximately 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 2, the roof at Kathleen's Tea Room on Main Street in Peekskill collapsed, though the building was evacuated before the incident.
It is unclear what caused the roof to collapse. No injuries were reported.
The incident led to a temporary closure of Main Street while police and fire crews responded and launched an investigation.
