Well, the day after the massive brouhaha they had some diggers and other implements of destruction come in. The building is now a pile of burnt wood. My husband took a picture but it was out of a moving vehicle so it wasn't shareable. Alas, I am sure y'all can visualize a big pile of blackened timber so no photographic evidence is necessary.
In the last photo I shared (post-fire), the building looked fairly solid, at least from the outside, so I guess it must have had hidden structural issues and they chose to reduce it to rubble preemptively. Which, given the amount of time, water, smoke, etc. stands to reason.

Thanks. That's sad indeed. But on the other hand, it should be much easier to implement a wider sidewalk and maybe some park space.

I certainly hope so. We never walk along that sidewalk, choosing to either use the back alley to the west of it or walk down 104 St precisely because of how bad it was.

Where is this being built? By their existing structure off of 114st?

Yes it has. This is what was torn down. I'm sure the replacement will be infinitely better <extreme sarcasm>.

Well, the new fraternity-associated building going up two doors down isn't bad. We'll see, I guess...

That corner already looks so much better without it

And it wasn't just the building - it was the junk filled driveway behind it, complete with an abandoned vehicle. THB, seeing how many fires our fine feathered friends, the "unhoused", start on a regular basis all over downtown, I'm kinda shocked it's managed to stay up for as long as it has.

Its about time, I can't count all the renos I've been involved with there over the years. 10 years ago they were talking about a new facility.
