ORIGINAL STORY: 

Crews closed Butler Street in Lawrenceville between 42nd and 44th streets after the facade fell off a building in the early morning hours of November 11th, 2021.

The building is in the 4300 block of Butler Street. 

No one was injured and there are no utility outages, though Duquesne Light was on scene tending to hanging wires. 

Drivers should avoid the area throughout the day and expect detours as cleanup continues.
