Demolition History


Sometimes it's good to look back and see how far things have come. Here's a photo from the archives that shows the demolition of the building at 40 South Main Street in Pigeon during the first week of April 2003. One worker is using a jackhammer to remove concrete work. Two others are pulling out the window framework from the brick wall that is about to be demolished. Leaning against an interior wall is the red door from the back of the old building.

This building has been completely rehabbed and now serves as the Graywood Designs office with shipping, storage, and studio facilities. There are two additional rental units in the building -- a photography studio that faces Main Street and a self catering apartment that is entered from the garden.

I'll post a "here's what it look like now" photo tomorrow.
