Demolition begins at old Baptist Hospital site

Demolition crews broke into one of four 15-story high-rises Monday at the Frederick Douglass Homes; it's the final phase of the demolition project.
Demolition crews broke into one of four 15-story high-rises Monday at the Frederick Douglass Homes after city officials formally announced the next and final phase of the demolition project.
Speakers included Mayor Mike Duggan, former mayor Dave Bing, White House executive director Don Graves, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development assistant secretary Sandra Henriquez, and Detroit Housing Commission Executive Director Kelley Lyons.
Crews completed the initial demolition of 96 low-rise row houses in October 2012 and began toppling two six-story mid-rise buildings that contained 154 units in late December. Those units now leveled, Nick Straub, general manager at the Carleton-based demolition company Homrich Inc., said his crews will use high-reach excavators to remove the four towers that border the northwest corner of I-75 and I-375.
Lyons said it will take about eight weeks to level the towers, and the removal of foundations and plumbing will continue into summer.
After the towers are down, the recreation center at the corner of Wilkins and Chrysler Service Drive will be all that remains. Duggan said there are no plans for the recreation center because the building is not in HUDs jurisdiction.
Duggan said the city is currently negotiating uses of the vacant 18 acres of land. Although he declined to reveal specific plans, he said the space will be used for new housing and economic opportunities.
The continuing effort to remove the abandoned structures was made possible by a $6.5 million HUD grant awarded to the Detroit Housing Commission from the Capital Emergency Grant Program.
Formerly known as the Brewster-Douglass Towers, the housing complex opened in 1938 with 701 units, and had 941 units by 1941. The windowless, graffiti-tattooed ruins have been a main-stage of blight and crime since the city fully closed the housing projects in 2008.

Two blocks from the White House, heavy-duty wrecking equipment has been taking big bites out of brutalism, bringing a dramatic end to a years-long saga about the workings of bureaucracy and the pleas of preservationists.
Since late last month, the northwest corner of 16th and I streets NW has been fenced off while the Christian Science church that was built there has been coming down.
Efforts at preserving it did not focus so much on its proximity to the White House, or its prominent place on 16th, one of the Districts most celebrated streets.
Instead, those who sought to save the structure cited its significance as an example of brutalism. Despite the seemingly unsavory implications of its name, brutalism is an accepted school of architecture, emphasizing bulk, strength and exposed concrete.
It was prominent for a time in the last century, and the word derives from the French wording for rough concrete rather than any malign intent.
Designed in the 1960s, the building had been in service for only a few decades before the congregation of the Third Church of Christ Scientist began trying to have it replaced by a new sanctuary.
The difficulty and expense of upkeep have been cited as prime motivations.
The church joined with developer ICG Properties on a plan to replace the church with an office building that would include a new sanctuary.
This touched off a drawn-out battle over historic preservation that was as vigorously contested as any in the District in recent years.
Extended as it was, the process eventually reached a conclusion.

Demolition of Christian Science church in downtown D.C. progresses
Bluffton South Carolina (PRWEB) March 11, 2014
Custom Home Builder Bluffton is pleased to announce that it is launching plans for new home development in the Bluffton, SC, area.
Whether it is building a new home from the ground up or creating and designing that "masterpiece" residence, the company puts all of its focus and energy upon the project. A member of Custom Home Builder Bluffton's consulting team can meet with a prospective buyer, sit down and listen to what he or she specifically wants in the home.
The company emphasizes listening to the buyer, then offering solutions to his or her dreams. The consultant and buyer review building costs, from foundation to roofing and those all-important building permits. Plus, the consultant -- thanks to many years of experience in the business -- maps out budgeting plans that will meet the buyer's own financial picture.
Once everything is in place, Custom Home Builder Bluffton's consultant then turns to the many licensed contractors, carpenters, electricians and plumbers that the company works with directly. The company makes sure all of the contractors are up to speed on current home building styles, permits and that they will keep their word.
This team goes out to the building site and takes a look at where the buyer wants the home built. The initial phase involves building a firm foundation and, with 21st Century technology available, can install hydraulic pillars to make sure the home can avoid developing unseemly cracks.
The company also believes a new home deserves to have great looks both inside and outside. An interior designer can take the home design and, along with the buyer, see how he or she wants the custom home or luxury home to appear. Selecting either hardwood flooring or carpet, different types of paint colors, and kitchen and bathroom accessories are all covered. A landscaper can sit down and offer unique grass and plant options best suited for the Bluffton area. Whether its flowers or bushes that pique the buyer's interest, the landscaper can get the job done.

Southwark Council will this summer open a temporary public library at Elephant & Castle as part of The Artworks, a 'retail and creative business hub' built from 50 recycled shipping containers.
The new library at the corner of Walworth Road and Elephant Road will serve as a temporary replacement for Newington Library which has been closed since a devastating fire swept through the adjacent town hall building in January 2013.
Plans for the 1.2 million library which could remain in place for up to five years are due to be approved by Southwark Council's cabinet next week.
Last spring opening hours were extended at John Harvard Library and East Street Library to compensate for the closure of the Newington branch.
"Demand for the use of other library facilities has increased since the closure of Newington Library with around 400 additional customers using the John Harvard Library on a daily basis which is creating additional pressures for the service and leading to delay and other frustrations for customers," said a report prepared for cabinet members.
"This additional demand is creating extra costs including security. The loss of quiet space for use by students to undertake revision/homework (particularly at exam time) and access to IT facilities is a particular issue for the area which needs to be addressed in the short term."
The council is also proposing the temporary relocation of the Cuming Museum which has also been shut for more than a year to Chumleigh Gardens in Burgess Park.
Next Tuesday's cabinet meeting will approve the project mandate for the future of the fire-damaged former town hall in Walworth Road.
The long-term redevelopment of the old town hall could include the relocation of the Southwark Local Studies Library currently situated at the rear of John Harvard Library as part of a centralisation of the borough's art and heritage services.
