They Paved Paradise . . . A wrecking crew works amid the rubble of what used to be a house at 326 S. Fifth Ave. as demolition work get underway on the site of a federal building for Ann Arbor. The house, which used to hold a law office and several apartments, was the last building to be acquired by the U.S. government in preparation for the $4 million federal building in the block bounded by S. Fifth and S. Fourth avenues, E. Liberty and E. William streets. Until yesterday the house sported a sign which borrowed lyrics from as ong to proclaim, "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot." Demolition work was begun today on the Masonic Temple in the background. Related Story on Page 1.

Demolition of the Whiffletree Restaurant, February 1990 Photographer: Larry E. Wright
Year:
1990
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, February 21, 1990
Caption:
SITE CLEARED: The walls of the building west of the old Whiffletree Restaurant on Huron Street were tumbling down Tuesday, 19 months after fire gutted the building and the adjacent downtown Ann Arbor eatery. But the demolition of the Whiffletree was delayed pending an investigation by city officials to determine whether the building is salvageable. Ro-An Realty partner Andy Gulvezan said the site will be used temporarily for a parking lot, until the fate of the restaurant is settled.
