T&T Construction has completed demolition of the city owned building on Main Street, commonly referred to as the “Old Bryant Furniture Building”. The city, with assistance from Bradley County, will clean up the site and dispose of the debris.
Prior to beginning the demolition, city officials found a crack in the building adjacent to the “Bryant Building” which is currently being utilized as a church. Due to the crack on the southside of that building, the city and contractor decided to leave a portion of the “Bryant Building” north wall until the church building is further inspected.
Plans are to hold up on cleaning up of the debris until the church is inspected. Equipment vibrations could cause further damage.
The church owner has been made aware of the situation. The city is moving to have the church inspected by a strucutral engineer to determin if the building is safe or what repairs are required.
