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.

A Greenville Daily Photo reader, Laura, recently commented on the possibility of reusing the bricks from the demolition of the Woolworth building .. a few days later I took the photo being shared today to show that yes the brick is being reused .. this should make Laura happy.

The buildings, around the old Woolworth building, have come down. The Woolworth building is next. New construction is planned.

We have had rainy and cold weather the last few days however yesterday the sun came out and the coats were put away .. I like this photo because of the flowers in the foreground and the old Woolworth building in the background .. The building has been unoccupied for several years and work, in preparation for the planned high-rise, has started.
