Rubble is sorted and removed

Only a shell of the main building remains

All of the main building has been demolished, leaving behind a metal shell of part of the western side of building. A small brick building still stands near the gorge, and the lake is now visible behind the piles of rubble.

Main building nearly demolished

On 4/2/2009, the main building was nearly demolished completely. Part of a floor on the leftmost section was pulled down, and the rightmost side is covered by the roof that has been pulled down. The crew worked to clear more debris from the site.

Much of the front buildings removed

Almost half way done with the main building
