Main Street buildings coming down - Great Panes

The first Main Street building to be torn down is the old Great Panes, which did stained glass. Stone front building, c1841, additions and stucco c1870, c1920. Demolished by Feb 24

Saw this today, so doing a very quick post. Although I am very concerned for the train station when all four buildings are torn down and thus not able to curve the next flood waters on Main St. away from the B&O Station - the oldest train station in America; at least not as many buildings are being torn down as planned by the previous County Executive.
