Anyone know if they are keeping the stain glass windows? I drove by yesterday, and it was nice seeing it through the torn down wall.

Wasting no time here.

Shoring already underway.

Too bad the stained glass didn't get recovered.

Also too bad that someone stole the spire and cross during the demolition

So it was stolen? Even if it had been, what would have happened to it had it not been stolen? You see what happened to the stained glass.

It's up to the property owner. It's possible that someone saw some cultural or design value in them and saved them from destruction. It's also possible that it was just a scrapper who got a few bucks for those items, which will now be melted down.

That's a bummer, the stain glass looked great.
