Demolition work begins. Here you can see the mural has been carefully removed for salvage.

Bricks are removed and piled, they will form a platform to elevate the excavators for carefully reaching the top of the 4 story building.

Work proceeds from the shore side, at the rear of the building.

Every different type of material has to be separated for proper waste disposal.

Coffee time! Shown in this picture is a pallet of bricks, which were placed by the street for members of the public who wanted to have a keepsake.

Two Ferris excavators are on the job.

Here you'll see an attachment on the bucket, which allows the operator to grab rather than scoop.

Ferris Trucking is part of the team hired by Kostick Demolition for this project.

Quite a pile of bricks are down already, and still quite a few to go.
