Demolition commences along East 14th Street


[EVG file photo from March 12]

Workers began erecting the sidewalk shed along the doomed section of East 14th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B on March 12.

And the single-level buildings have been sitting there ready for rubble ever since.

Until yesterday, when the demo crew finally arrived and started taking apart 532 E. 14th St. (the former ABC Animal Hospital, now located at 200 Avenue A)… as these photos by Michael Paul show …





Incoming: Two, 7-floor retail-residential buildings featuring 150 residential units in nearly 189,000 square feet of space.

By the way, in case you missed this post during the Great EVG Blackout of March 14 … Here's a reminder that the Blarney Cove sign is in good hands.

    Day 2 of demolition started at 7:30 this morning. Vibrations and noise as expected. Very little dust. Lots of breaking glass.
