da Melph b4 demolition - New Orleans - 2011
wiki: The Melpomene Projects, officially called the Guste Apartments, is located in Central City New Orleans and is one of the Housing Projects of New Orleans. The complex occupies ten city blocks, bounded roughly by South Robertson Street, Clio Street, Simon Bolivar Avenue and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (formerly Melpomene Avenue). There were four three-story buildings and two four-story buildings for families and a high-rise for the elderly. At a peak height of 12 stories, the Guste high-rise is the tallest public housing complex in the city. It was also one of the most dangerous housing projects in Uptown New Orleans along with the Magnolia Projects and the Calliope Projects. The Melpomene Project was constructed in 1964. The site was once made up of single and multi-family houses; by the late 1950s the city declared them slums which paved the way for the project. It is the youngest surviving housing project in New Orleans. The high-rise underwent major renovations in 2002. In 2004--05, three of the six low-rise buildings were demolished after failing to meet the Housing Authority of New Orleans #39; economic viability guidelines. It is one of few housing projects in the city that survived Hurricane Katrina with minimal wind damage and no flood damage. Subsequently, the demolition of the remaining three low rise buildings has been put on hold. _________________________________ wheretheyatnola: The Melpomene project, built in 1964 in Central City, originally ...

HARTSVILLE, SC (WMBF) If you own a dilapidated house in Hartsville, you may soon be eligible to receive partial funding for demolition of the property from the city.

The Hartsville City Council has provided a $20,000 grant to the newly-formed Hartsville Community Development Foundation to use for a Residential Demolition Assistance Program, according to a release from the city.

Though the program is still in its planning phases, when the owner of an identified "blighted" property agrees to participate, the City will work with the Foundation to hire a contractor to demolish and clear away the condemned structure or structures, the release states. The property owner retains ownership of the cleared lots.

"The Hartsville Community Development Foundation is excited about the opportunity to partner with the City of Hartsville to facilitate Hartsville's new Residential Demolition Assistance Program, which offers participating property owners much-needed financial support and, at the same time, provides the City with support it needs to streamline and expedite the processes involved," says Curtis Lee, chair of the Hartsville Community Development Foundation.

Tune in to WMBF News at 6 p.m. for a full report from WMBF News' Brennan Somers.

Demolition of the Soo Line Ore dock superstructure is continuing along the Ashland waterfront in spite of winters cold and snow.

A hydraulic hammer, mounted at the end of a long boom, rat-ta-tat-tats against the top of the structure, nibbling away at the remains of the ore dock, which has already had its top deck and massive concrete approaches removed.

NEW ORLEANS -- Now that a settlement agreement has been ironed out between Tulane and the city, demolition crews are busy at work making way for the university's new football stadium.

However, some neighbors are still concerned about their future.

"Two great big machines and huge dump trucks right outside the green fence," said Tricia Becker of the construction activity she watched and shot cell phone video of from her back window.

Since Monday, demolition crews have been busy at work tearing up Tulane's George Westfelt Practice Facility. A university press release says field bleachers, a scoreboard, tennis court stands, along with turf and track, are being removed.

"Whenever the shovel hit the ground, that would be an extra shake," said Becker.

The Uptown resident said the vibrations raised a red flag. Becker called the university to complain and they responded late this afternoon.

Demolition begins on Tulane Stadium, neighbors still concerned

A couple walks past as an excavator works to demolish the former Gainesville Police Department headquarters on Thursday.

The official demolition of the Gainesville Police Department Headquarters began Thursday morning.

The building, at 721 NW Sixth St., is being razed to make way for a brand new facility. According to GPD spokesman Officer Ben Tobias, senior members of GPD including Chief Tony Jones were on hand to see the first bricks fall.

It was actually quite emotional for the officers that watched the first strikes of the excavator, Tobias said. There are a lot of memories from that building. A lot of us were sworn into service inside the old station, but now were one step closer to making new memories in a new building.

Originally, a renovation was planned and began in late 2010, but code compliance and asbestos issues made a complete demolition and rebuild more cost-effective.

The building has been vacant since then, and Chief Jones said hes felt the impact of the displacement.

Our police officers and staff have been displaced for over 2 years, and they had to look at the old building just sitting there empty, Jones said. Now we all can see progress towards a brand new building for both us and the community. Now its real. Now its tangible.

The demolition should take about four weeks, Tobias said, with the site prep for new construction to follow.

The Gilbane Building Company is overseeing the construction, and Cross Construction is handling the demolition.

According to Tobias, Gilbanes Project Executive Joe Frisco said safety and being good neighbors will be the top priority as the project moves forward.
