Both Carbo-Sil and the nearby Battery City will be demolished by the end of March, information came from a contractor I bumped into on site.

Too bad.. Quite liked them for what they were. Can't blame them, though.

So it looks like this bastard is still standing. I guess that may have removed the underground parking, not the building due to not enough state/federal funds.

Out front on Beech st. That concrete bunker looking thing that's maybe a few feet higher than the ground. It was actually very large down there.

huh. I just assumed that was another building foundation. Didn't realize there was anything below it. Cool.

The Battery Factory is still there (as of two days ago). There is a fence around it now. Carbo-Sil is about half demolished.

Only half gone? Didn't they start on that over half a year ago?

Last I was there they took down all of the attached office-like buildings and any building that wasn't the huge open warehouse. I think the skeleton + roof of the big warehouse is still standing.

I visited in March and yesterday. In March, it was the same as it ever was... mess of garbage everywhere. Yesterday? Very different. They have bobcats and generators in there and have cleaned up a lot of the floor in the main space, have put lots of caution tape up everywhere and have at least 2 air monitoring devices setup. I wonder how much longer it will be around. If you were thinking of going, go soon. Also, what looked like possible security was sitting in a car out front.. but was far removed from the POE in the southeast. Don't know if they patrol.
