Fire officials said no suspects have been identified and that the investigation is continuing.
Fire investigators said they also have no suspects in another arson blaze that was reported at about 10:40 p.m. Thursday at a gardening store at 1123 N. Euclid St.
Officials said several plant displays and ceramic statues at Nurseryland were vandalized before the fire was started in a wooden structure outside the main building.
Damage was estimated at $7,500. No injuries were reported. Investigators said the two fires do not appear to be linked.
