Construction crews began early morning on June 26, 2012 tearing down the exterior of the city-owned building on Main Street. Workers used power saws, handheld jackhammers and a specially outfitted bobcat to take down the brick building piece-by-piece. The demolition is part of a project to ready the space for the Grape Creek Winery, which won an economic incentive loan to establish its business on the Courthouse Square. (Sun archive photo)
