McGarvey Industrial Park Demolition, Baltimore

www.pedestrians...
Speakers celebrate plans to redevelop a derelict industrial park. A local community leader makes a symbolic first blow with the excavator. Then the demolition begins.
Prior to 1975, the building was a meat packing plant. A 1953 Sanborn Insurance map shows it as "Albert F. Goetze Inc Pork Packers & Sausage Factory"

Fires damaged the north end of the building in 2006 and 2017, and it has been vacant in recent years.
