Grocery in nearly 150-year-old western Iowa building burns

fire

MALVERN, Iowa (AP) - An historic grocery housed in a nearly 150-year-old building in the western Iowa town of Malvern has been destroyed in a fire.

Television station KETV reports that Mulholland Grocery on Main Street burned Monday night in a multi-alarm fire that required the efforts of nearly a dozen area fire departments to extinguish.

 Firefighters say the fire broke out around 5:30 p.m., while the store was still open for business, but no one was hurt in the blaze.

Owner Tom Mullholland says the building first opened in the 1870s as a dry goods store. It's been in the Mulholland family for all but 17 years since.
