Suspicion grows in Cleveland after another century-old church burned down. The cause is listed as 'unknown,' yet multiple recent fires were designated arson. This was the former Friendship Baptist Church at East 55th St. and Central Ave., built as a synagogue in 1896. It later served 1,000 members before dwindling to 40 by 2014. Flames erupted just before two o'clock, collapsing the roof and blowing out windows. FOX 8 NEWS noted it was raining fire with debris shooting off. A massive response prevented spread, but the remaining structure was demolished
