Nearby homes had to be evacuated after the basement of the building caught fire at about 11:30 on Thursday.
The flames spread to the roof and part of the four-storey property on Lumb Lane has now collapsed, with the site still being too dangerous for firefighters to access.
The landmark building has been reduced to rubble, with debris landing in the street opposite.

Thanks to Rachel Sherwin for this picture taken in Leeds this morning. Very nice indeed...
