Crews demolished the east elevation of 639 Cleveland Street, using a telehandler to remove upper masonry sections and reach areas beyond ground-level access. As the exterior wall opens, portions of the building’s steel frame and interior structure come into view from new vantage points. With the exterior layers removed, the building’s internal framework is increasingly visible from the street.
