Tile Removal Is Underway in the Brown Brothers Building Second-Floor Restrooms

Pry bar removing tile from restroom wall — A pry bar is used to remove adhered tile from a second-floor restroom wall.

Demolition continues inside the Brown Brothers Building as crews remove outdated wall tile from the second-floor restrooms, exposing the underlying plaster and drywall. Using pry bars and demolition tools, workers break through glued tile, revealing earlier construction layers and wall conditions beneath.

The process clears the way for updated systems and finishes while documenting existing materials as they are uncovered, which is an essential step in preparing the space for restoration.
