Demolition Porn #2: Red Hook Edition

Taking down the old Revere Sugar plant in Red Hook has been quite the task. Demolition started in December on the dome that had defined the local waterfront for a long time, then moved to the the assorted factory buildings. The big steel frame building is now coming down. In fact, as you can see in the photos, demolition has cleaved it in two. Another few months, and it will be empty land. It looks like one solitary old brick structure could remain on the site, but it could just be the last one that will go. If you've already forgotten the Revere Dome, or just want to watch it vanish, check out our time lapse vid from this spring.
