The Columbia Borough Fire Department was called to the blaze at the 2-store warehouse building that houses Tollbooth Antiques in the 200 block of Chestnut Street around 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 18.
The 40,000-square-foot warehouse was previously known as the Kahn Lucas factory, which produced children's clothing, according to public records. It housed approximately 35 different antique dealer's booths, local antique dealers explained on social media.
The fire was visible for miles and required crews from York County to assist.
