Day the smoke stack came down May 1997
Title
Day the smoke stack came down May 1997
Description
This series of five photos show the day the Die Cast smokestack was demolished. A large percentage of Woodstock folks watched the event.
Jim started with a picture of the Woodstock Square taken near the E. Jackson St entrance that shows the smokestack in the distance beyond Main St. Next people gather to watch, including one photographer standing on his van. In the third photo, the chimney is starting to topple. In the fourth photo, only the dust remains where the smokestack stood. Finally, Jim returned to the same location on the Square to show the empty space in the distance where the smokestack stood.
For more photos of the demolition, see the Don Peasley collection.
