And the walls came tumbling down

The historic building on the 400 block of Avenue G (between Walnut and Chestnut) is now almost completely torn down. The brick structure, once a livery stable, was condemned in June 2015 and suffered a fire the following September.

A remnant of an elevator made by the Warner Elevator Company in Cincinnati, Ohio was found in the debris.   

Workers used heavy equipment to demo the building. They also removed some areas by hand.

Up on the rooftop . . .

Workers took advantage of the mild weather this afternoon to do work on the roof of Bootleg Antiques at 135 Bridge Street.

 At times, they worked pretty close to the edge.

Here's a long view.

 Further over, these guys were installing flashing.

But where's the sign . . . ?

“Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.”

“Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.”

That quote is attributed to Mark Twain but seems to be the lament of this seagull at Columbia River Park today. The weather continues to be fickle indeed, with temperatures expected to push 60 on Wednesday and Thursday - and then possible snow on Friday.
