Demolition crews have hauled away thousands of pounds of debris from the Brown Brothers Building at 615 Cleveland Street. Throughout, interior demolition, wood framing, gypsum board, plaster and tile were removed. The material was deposited into dumpsters on site before being transported for proper disposal.

This phase marks a crucial shift from interior breakdown to structural preparation, clearing the way for restoration of one of Cleveland Street’s historically significant buildings.
