Members of International Union of Operating Engineers Local 66 work Friday to safely secure and preserve the historical aspects of the facade in preparation for its removal from the partially collapsed building at 15 N. Main St. in Washington. Mayor Scott Putnam said the plan is to dismantle the facade in three pieces. “We are looking to save that, if possible,” Putnam said, provided the preservation effort doesn’t add more cost to the demolition project. The work is expected to resume Monday.
