The demolition is complete for all intents and purposes. What remains will become the monument.
You can see that the floor has been filled in and tamped down. A floor of bricks will be laid and a pedestal with a plaque will be included.
The gravel roadbed will be removed and the landscaping will be upgraded.
Nice photo. Thanks.
I sure miss that white stack.
Cowellian, just a correction on the monument construction. The floor will be poured concrete not bricks as they will not hold up to the weather and be durable enough. In the middle of the monument will be a pedestal a few feet high with the memorial plaque. This pedestal will be lined on the outside with salvaged brick.

Oh! Too bad, I think a brick floor would be cool.
By-the-way, Happy 4th of July!
