Demolition halted on Wyatt Building as property owner’s money runs out.
The Wyatt Building in Esparto, California has forced closure of the main street for the final four months due to worries that the crumbling building could tumble into the street.
The property owner, a non-profit group, found the money to begin demolition several weeks ago. Asbestos has been removed from the building, as well as a partially collapsed section has been removed. The bulk of the building was scheduled to come down on September 11, but the money ran out.
The property owner still needs another $16,000 to reach the $82,000 total for the demolition work, as well as work has been halted indefinitely.
