After nearly six hours of battling a downtown inferno, fire crews were only putting out hot spots Monday afternoon after the blaze consumed the historic Park Theatre Mall. Investigators were on scene trying to determine what sparked the fire. (9News)

The actual Park Theatre, a historic building which sits next to the mall, was spared by the fire, according to the Estes Park Police.

The mall itself, which houses seven small stores and was originally a carriage house and livery, was left in complete ruins. A section of the roof collapsed and what remained was covered in debris and water.

Power was cut to the immediate area while firefighters doused water on the fire. It was restored later in the day.

No one was injured, police said.
