Demolition |

This story is about the demolition of this 100-year-old monument known as the Castle |
|||||||
 |
 |
 |
 |
||||
From its proud
Structure which stood for 100 years |
Feeling the
brunt of the first swings 6,000 lb ball of the 210 foot crane |
The Rotunda dome
resisting man and machine to stay aloft. It fell on its own
fruition at the end of a day |
To the final wall
standing alone before being reduced to rubble. |
||||
 To the indignity of being reduce to a future parking lot. |
