Brit in Brooklyn, Demolition Will Begin at 800 Pacific Street: Ward Bakery
Brownstoner, Closing Bell: Ward's Bakery Demolition Imminent
After the (ab)use of eminent domain, the destruction of Ward's Bakery is number 2 on our list of grievances about the Atlantic Yards project, so it was with a heavy heart that we read this week's dispatch from the ESDC. According to the alert, demolition will begin (or should that be continue?) within the next two weeks on the building. What a shame that Ratner couldn't have thrown the preservationists a bone on this one. The demo company with its name plastered to the protective netting clearly has no qualms in its role in destroying a slice of Brooklyn history.
