Avondale Office Build – Demo time!

After close to 30 years of neglect and vacancy, the station building was in pretty rough shape all around.  The sloped roofing placed during the mid 1940’s renovations had begun to leak near an existing chimney located in the center of the space which ultimately lead to the partial collapse of the surrounding roof structure.  By removing the sagging and broken joists, the gravitational strain was taken from the stone support walls before further damage occurred.  Temporary roof joists as well as a standard tin roof were applied to stabilize the building until the new roof structure can be fabricated.  A big thank you to Green Valley Construction for their assistance in this phase!
