Your Daily Hamberger Factory Destruction Photo: The Roof Caves In


In Lost City's continuing coverage of the demise the Hamberger Christmas display factory, here's what's going on Aug. 20. The row of fine arched windows are gone, baby, gone. And without them, the wooden roof caved in. Doesn't look like the roof was nearly as sturdy as the walls.

Of interest are a kind of balcony supported by white pillars that can now be seen. Old "Exit" signs point onetime churchgoers/basketball players/factory workers (see building history here) to the front doors of the Warren Street building.
