The roof of the former East Hampton Bowl building on Montauk Highway in East Hampton Village collapsed due to the heavy snow on Wednesday afternoon, according to a report in the The East Hampton Star.

The building has been abandoned since it shut down in June 2013, and most likely going to be torn down anyway so a new building could be put up in its place, according to the report. Nobody was in the building when the roof collapsed.

“It’s an old roof, and I think the latest storm just took its toll,” East Hampton Village Mayor Paul F. Rickenbach Jr. told The East Hampton Star. “The weight was so much that the structure couldn’t handle it.”
