Celotex Demo (Belated)
Discovered a mistake on our part this week when cleaning out some desks: Bill Awerkamp apparently submitted a packet of photos to Between the Lens of the old Celotex building being demolished last year. Unfortunately, it was right about the time we got this blog up and running, and in dealing with all of that we neglected to get Bill’s pictures posted. So here are a couple of his shots, which according to an attached note were taken from Woodland Cemetery near the city vault. Sorry for the delay, Bill. (Submitted Photos/Bill Awerkamp)
