Dauphin Street building damaged in Thursday’s fire being secured

Mobile, Ala. — After sustaining significant damage during a three-alarm fire last night, the building located at 407 Dauphin Street is being secured to protect pedestrians, motorists and nearby buildings.

The City of Mobile has been working with the property owner, who will be implementing a temporary remedy to secure the building and its façade. That work is expected to begin as soon as possible. As a precaution, the sidewalk and on-street parking in front of the building will be closed to the public and barricaded until the structure can be secured permanently. Pedestrians are asked to avoid the area.

The property owner is also working with the City of Mobile to submit a long-term plan to secure the building and save its historic façade. Those plans are expected to be submitted by September 20.
