No one was hurt overnight when a building that is the home of the Street Royalty Motorcycle Club in Detroit exploded.

It happened around 11:15 p.m. near Webb on Dexter Ave. No one was inside at the time of the explosion.

Fire crews arrived at the scene and were able to put the fire out, but they have not determined what caused the explosion yet. Arson investigators were here at the building early this morning and are expected to come back out later Wednesday to look at what's left.

This was a social spot for the motorcycle club, a place to come hang out. As recently as Monday, they hosted a Detroit Lions watch party according to their Facebook page, and people in the area say the club was good for the community.
