Saving Old Drish - The Demo

Sunset shining on Old Drish - In December, the Southside Baptist Church addition was torn down and hauled away. This is the first step in restoring the Drish House.

Here's my original post showing the home with the additions still intact.
In January, a TIME CAPSULE, originally buried by the church members in the 1950s was excavated and opened.

I like the building. What was in the time capsule?

I must say that it does look better without the additions. If those beautiful columns are any indication, this house is going to look great when the restoration's done! I hope you'll keep us updated on the project.

I'm happy to hear that it's being saved and restored! Tuscaloosa is good about saving its historic buildings.
