New Orleans, La. - A large portion of an old New Orleans building came crashing to the ground on Wednesday.

Investigators with the New Orleans Fire Department were called to the 3300 block of Dauphine.

Bricks were scattered all along the street and sidewalk. One neighbor said he heard a loud boom when the wall came down. Another told FOX 8 the building used to house to serve as a furniture storage unit, but added it had been in disarray for some time.

Despite the debris, nobody was hurt.
