It's gone!

Building A has been demolished! In less than a couple of hours, all that was left was a pile of rubble. The second picture was taken from the fourth story walkway between the west and east apartments, looking north. You can see old Building D on the right. The white in the foreground is the roof of the new community room building. Picture four shows the framing for the sidewalk down the middle of the courtyard between the west and east buildings.
