Construction along with destruction
Look carefully. You can see on the first pic, where they are already laying the foundations of one of the buildings over by the old VA clinic. Middle pic is more clean up of the Rankin building area, and the last pic is some of the underground sewer pipes and stuff being put in where the picnic area and bandstand once was.

Good bye Rankin
Well, the De-struction is almost complete. Here is what is left of the Rankin building. A building built in the shape of a V for Veteran. First photo is the pile of rubble that was once home to over 400 people, taken from the front main entrance area. The second photo shows the area where the APR room, Kozy Corners and the pavilion used to be. In upper left corner is where the horse shoe pits used to be just outside the duckpond landing. Pic was taken from McKleish 3rd floor (dom unit) laundry room. Notice the train station is still standing! It will not be touched as it is a historical building.
