Demolition of Two Buildings
 

To make way for the Conservatory, two buildings were destroyed. On the right in the photo the white wall marks where the apartment building was, on the left the wood frame is where the former Lighthouse for the Blind was located. When this photo was taken the iron entrance gate to the apartment building was still standing.

I was out on Davies’ east balcony, as seen in Jerry’s photo. He and I actually met each other for the first time at the recent Sunday afternoon organ concert, shortly after both of our photos. The second tier was not open, so neither of us could get a daytime elevated shot.

A few days ago concrete was poured in the foundation. Today a lot of action in the hole!
