Beaver Dam Downtown Demolition 100 Front Street

Five Down, Five To Go

6/5/09 - Demolition of ten buildings in downtown Beaver Dam has reached the half-way point as the final building on the 100 block of Front Street was razed Thursday. Crews also continue to dismantle the Celestial Building on the 200 block by hand. The roof was removed in small sections earlier this week. Guide wires are being used to hold the walls of the structure together. The concern being that if one wall were to fall, it would produce a domino effect that would damage the common walls between Expedition Supply and the Fountain Inn Tavern. As the rubble is removed on the 100 block of Front Street the focus will turn to the 200 block, where the final five buildings will be demolished.

They are spraying to keep the dust down, but not the asbestos, as that would have had to been removed prior to the start of demolition.

I guess the water being sprayed to is try and knock down the dust and asbestos flying in the air.
