South Capitol at Potomac, Looking North-Northwest ( see more)
|

 Sending the old trash transfer station building on New Jersey Avenue to the big trash transfer station in the sky that's been almost as anticipated among residents as the departure of the school buses from the Canal Park site a few years back, and action over the past few days seems to indicate that the end is almost upon us. The glass blocks came out of the large window areas last week, and some big chunks came out of the building's north side this morning, though then the work came to a halt. But even if it's not gone within the next 24 hours, clearly the clock is finally ticking, as you can see in the photo at right (see enlarged version). If you're already feeling nostalgic for the structure, my photos of the building's interior and exterior taken a few weeks ago could ease your pain.

I am glad this hideous building is gone. I hope the Taxi garage on L street between South Capitol and half street will be next building to go.

Is it too late to file a historic preservation request for the tower? :)
MJM says: (7/30/12 3:26 PM)
It was actually a nationally award winning trash removal/disposal system when it was first built - gonna be weird to see that gone. I hope the taxi garage at NJ and L St is the next building to go.

Good to see some activity finally, NoMa and U street have gained momentum while our area appears to be running in place, would be nice to see some new condo inventory.
