Description

Workmen began razing the 50-year-old Wheat Building on Eighth and Main Streets to make way for a modern two-story building. The elevator house atop the building can be seen partially wrecked while stones on the north wall of the top floor already have been removed. Several other buildings can be seen in the background.
