Demolition Photos
After several weeks of work clearing the interior and making structural preparations, demolition of the exterior structure of the 1961 and 1981 additions took place August 26-31, 2004. Removal of debris and cleanup of the site followed over the next week.
Thanks to Greg Shesko for most of the following photographs.
