Ruffner / Blackwell Wall
23 May 2001
Heavy equipment
operator Brian Davenport maneuvers his backhoe to
assist in a controlled demolition of rear Ruffner wall.
The back wall
of Ruffner (adjacent to the entry to Blackwell) gets
temporary support from a steel beam (held in place by a backhoe)
which prevents the entire wall from collapsing at once. The
doorway with x-beam supports leads directly to Blackwell.
Backhoe pushes
steel beam against wall as
additional equipment begins demolition.
The wall comes down...
