Bookend Construction

no comments

Construction is well underway on the second “Bookend” of the South Spring Street parking garage residential unit along Washington Street, referred to as “100 East” on the sign.   There will also be retail space on the street level.

There is also some construction taking place on the Spring Street side of the parking garage, but I cannot yet see what’s being done to those pillars.

This is a view from the intersection of North Main Street and Academy Street of the reconfiguration of North Main street to include bicycle lanes and on-street parking.  The lane striping visible here is temporary until the construction is finished.

Demolition of the Woolworth building continues. Yesterday, they started demolition of the front facade of the building. Sad to see if go .. at the same time it is exciting to see the preparation for new construction. From a photographic standpoint I find it interesting that the afternoon light is so forgiving that a photo taken directly into the sun still shows blue sky.

For local readers who want to see the Woolworth building one last time .. today may be the day. When I walked past yesterday evening you could see the evening sky though the front windows. I suspect the front of the building will come down today .. or very soon.
