As of June 24, about half of the one remaining lumber kiln building at the Readville carshops has been demolished. The remaining part of the structure seems to be safe for a while as some of the large doorways are being made into smaller openings and some of the brickwork repointed. I have no information as to what use the building will be put to when modifications are completed.
