(Harmony, PA) A two-alarm fire damaged a historic building in Harmony after flames tore through the roof around noon yesterday. 

Harmony Fire District Chief Rob Reeb said that a big hole was burned in the roof of the building. 

Reeb said firefighters were able to contain the fire to the attic, though the building sustained significant water damage. The structure is located at the corner of Main and Mercer streets. 

Records show the building was once the site of the Beahm Hotel, which was constructed after another fire decades ago. It also previously housed the family-owned Sapienza Market. 

More recently, Rodgers Brothers Incorporated operated an investment advisory firm in the building. Officials said all employees escaped safely. 

Investigators are still working to determine the cause of the fire.
