The former Midelfort Pharmacy Building on Barstow Street in downtown Eau Claire done got itself pushed to the ground by a back-hoe on Sunday to make way for redevelopment plans. Video:

And pictures!

So what now? Driving downtown, it’s kind of cool to see right through where the pharmacy used to be – all the way to the buildings back on Wisconsin Street. But the idea is to clear that block for easy all-new development of all-new buildings. There are initial ideas for that block, but no solid plans from what I can find. Anything in particular you guys would like to see on that block?

I heard a rumor that the old pharmacy building was in relatively good shape, but that land is just easier to use sans historic structures.
