| The demolition
contractor has focused on removing masonry cladding from the Gillender
Building; this photo was taken on a Thursday, three days after the previous
photo (B16303), and demolition of the Stevens Building has not progressed.
Now that a large amount of the masonry cladding on the Gillender Building
has been removed, the contractor has spent several days preparing to increase
the speed of demolition of the steel structure. The stiff legged derrick
at the 11th floor within the middle bow window on the Nassau Street elevation
of the Gillender Building was installed earlier in the week. There are
now several derricks visible on the structure. Masonry debris continues
to be removed through the interior chutes, though the longer steel or
iron members are more efficiently removed whole by picking them from the
frame with the stiff legged derricks.
