The old ice house building in downtown Brownwood, very near the KOXE studios, continues to come down.  The photo shows the demolition which was underway Wednesday morning as another large truck was being loaded with debris.

According to previous stories on KOXE, The BMDD and City of Brownwood went through a bid process for the demolition of the old Ice House and warehouse buildings on Baker and Lee Streets, just southwest of the Coliseum.  Two sealed bids were received.  The BMDD Board awarded, and the Council approved, the low bid of $261,469 by local company Martin Earthworks.  The other bid was $370,000 by Teinert Construction.

The demolition does not include the brown brick Timmins building but does include the warehouse buildings nearby.  This would pave the way for a possible future event center project in that location.
