UXBRIDGE A dispute delaying the demolition of the Bank Building has been resolved, and the stabilization and demolition of the building has begun.

Town Manager Sean Hendricks said Tuesday that Nick Kotsianas, owner of the Bank Building, and the owner of the abutting Keegan Construction building have come to an agreement.

Route 122 has been closed since a six-alarm fire Thursday afternoon destroyed the building, and officials hope to have one lane open by Wednesday and both lanes open by the weekend.

The cause of the fire will officially remain undetermined, according to the state fire marshal's office.

Fire officials said the fire started in a confined, inaccessible space on the third floor.

"All evidence points to an electrical fire," said Jennifer Mieth, spokeswoman for Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan. "But due to the destruction, there is not enough evidence to say definitively that it is electrical, so it will remain officially undetermined."

Demolition dispute resolved; Rt. 122 in Uxbridge to reopen

AP/July 23, 2013

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) The bishop of the Roman Catholic diocese of Springfield has given the green light for the partial demolition of a school that was heavily damaged in a tornado more than two years ago.

The move comes after an arbitration panel ruled earlier this month that the diocese can receive nearly $49 million for the replacement of Cathedral High School.

A spokesman for Bishop Timothy McDonnell tells the Republican newspaper of Springfield (http://bit.ly/1bdFkgb ) that demolition work can begin on a section of the building that housed the gymnasium and auditorium.

The diocese had wanted $70 million to replace the school but the insurance company, Catholic Mutual Group, had initially argued the school could be repaired and offered $15 million.

The building has been closed since the June 1, 2011 tornado.

Tornado-damaged Mass. school set for demolition

The demolition of a historic South Main Street building rendered unsalvageable by a fire began Tuesday after a brief delay.

Fire Chief William Kessler said abutter concerns held up the process of taking down the Bank Building, a Victorian-era structure gutted by fire on July 18.

"They had to come up with a new plan," he said, noting that the building demolition will be done in a more cautious, slower manner. "They were hoping to get a lot of work done (Tuesday), but the work will take a few days."

The cause of the fire is officially undetermined, but current evidence points to an electrical fire. According to a department release, there is not enough evidence, and may never be enough, to definitively determine how it started.

"It seems to have started in an inaccessible void space on the third floor," Kessler said. "While we're leaning toward an electrical fire, we can't prove it with the evidence."

The section of Rte. 122 in front of the building remains closed because of structural concerns, but Kessler said re-opening the road is a priority.

"As soon as the building gets to the point where the instability is gone, I believe it is the intent of public safety to re-open at least one lane of the road," he said. "The town's committed to opening the road as soon as possible."

Kessler said he believes the road will open before the building is entirely demolished, as engineers said the front and back walls of the third floor were causing the instability, but he did not know when that would be.

The building was the site of a six-alarm fire last week that sent two firefighters and a bystander to the hospital with symptoms of heat exhaustion. All the tenants were able to escape the building, though a pet cat perished in the blaze.

Local officials determined the building was unsafe the next day, and ordered it destroyed.

SPRINGFIELD, MA (WSHM) -

Demolition began Wednesday at a longtime troubled landmark in East Springfield.

The Cornerstone Lounge on Page Boulevard has been an area riddled with crime in recent years and residents as well as city officials celebrated the news that it will finally be torn down.

"It's caused neighbors to move out, this building has caused neighbors to not get sleep at night," said Kathleen Brown, East Springfield neighborhood council president. "Neighbors have had to come and pick up trash and debris. They've had particularly foul language unfortunately there was even a murder that was related to this particular facility."

Brown says she's been fighting for this day for years.

"This is something people have been hoping for, people have been dreaming for, but never thought would happen," said Brown. "So, it's like a miracle."

The building was built back in 1924. In its day it was described as a wonderful community asset. But, in years since it has become a location known for its issues.

"There has been shootings, there's been deaths there, there's been a lot of drug dealings it was just the wrong clientele for this neighborhood," said Gilbert Perron, the East Springfield neighborhood council vice president .

The property was bought by Genden Auto Parts and once demolished will be used to help revitalize the area.

"Well we have a plan to put a parking lot in. Not just a paved asphalt area but green space around it, nice wrought-iron fence and it should add to the aesthetics to our adjacent building, the terrace and the library that's here," said John Lamoureux, who is the owner of Genden Auto Parts and the property in which the Cornerstone Lounge sits.
