Floor Tile Removal Begins at Brown Brothers Building

Floor tile removal is underway inside the historic Brown Brothers Building. Using electric chipping hammers, restoration crews are carefully breaking away decades-old tile and adhesive from the concrete floor as part of the building’s ongoing restoration. The handheld demolition tools allow workers to break up the adhered flooring while exposing the original slab beneath.

A close-up view shows old tile and adhesive being removed from the floor slab.

The work prepares the floor for future improvements and allows restoration teams to evaluate the condition of the underlying concrete. This phase marks another visible step in the rehabilitation of one of downtown Clearwater’s most historically significant buildings.
