After receiving a demolition permit in early August, wrecking work on the former W. C. Reebie & Brother storage building at 5035 North Broadway in Uptown is underway. The contracting team of Milburn Demolition and Bulley & Andrews is working from the south façade, carving hole into the side of the building and working their way inward.

Demolition of early post-fire building at 720 N Wells Street continues in River North.
