Demolition at 12th and Elm for the SCPA. More photos later.

Beach said...: i saw this on the way home too. I know it's just a couple more buildings, but with nothing else on the block it seems like a dramatic change.; 30/5/08 9:47 PM

CityKin said...: It's a long story, but basically the Drop Inn Center had transitional housing there, and it took a while to figure out a solution to house the residents. They rehabbed a building on McMicken for them before they could demo these. The strange part is that they redesigned the school so that they could proceed without this corner, and now after they are demolished, nothing will be built on this corner. Supposedly there is a plan for an outdoor ampitheater here. Not sure of the details on that though.; 31/5/08 4:20 PM
