YARMOUTH PORT, Massachusetts (WBZ) — A well-known landmark on Cape Cod was destroyed in a raging fire on Sunday night.
The fire at the old Anthony’s Cummaquid Inn started at around 6:30 p.m., lighting up the night sky, making it visible from several miles away. Firefighters from several towns responded, shutting down part of Route 6A while they fought the flames. A portion of the building eventually collapsed.
The inn was once a popular attraction on Cape Cod and the building has been vacant since 2016. It was owned by the same family that ran Anthony’s Pier 4 restaurant in Boston. In a statement posted to Facebook, the Historical Society of Old Yarmouth said they were “very sad” to hear of the fire.
It’s unclear if there were any injuries.
No other information was immediately available.
