LANCASTER, MO. -- The downtown square in Lancaster, Mo., looked a little different Sunday after a building collapsed overnight.

A building on the northwest corner of the square collapsed Saturday between 9:30-10 p.m.

Schuyler County Sheriff Carl Fritz Gottman tells KTVO the building was unused and had been for some time. Gottman says a pickup truck parked near the building was damaged in the collapse, but no one was injured in the incident.

He says he's still trying to track down the owner of the building. 

Marion and Jackson Streets, which run along the north and west sides of the square were still blocked off Sunday due to debris from the collapse.
