We're still collecting our emotions from this morning watching the Locke School Belfry come off the building next door, but we can say that it is now safe with the Heritage Collection, and we can't wait for its new future.

It's looking good for being 136 years old, and we can't thank Reliance enough for their precision and attention to detail in taking down the belfry safely!
