BETHESDA BUILDING DEMOLISHED! EXCLUSIVE PHOTO GALLERY

"PHANTOM CONDO"
BUILDING KNOCKED
DOWN TO MAKE WAY
FOR
NORFOLK-CORDELL II

Another Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row Exclusive

It was just two days ago that I exclusively broke the story here that 4901 Cordell Avenue was going to be redeveloped as Norfolk-Cordell II, and include a rooftop restaurant.

Less than 24 hours later, the large vehicle you saw in one of the photos surged forward and demolished much of the old brick building.

Here is an exclusive photo gallery surveying the scenes of destruction:
The old sign for the never-built luxury Veneto condos is
still attached to the building!

Debris cascades out the front door
Hope nobody's working late in that
upstairs office!

The only vehicle in Bethesda with a
sure parking space tonight
Pedestrians should take care in
this area.  Debris - including glass -
was not entirely contained

King of the mountain!


A pay phone?  This really is Old Town Bethesda!
Hope the Bros. made it out in time
Lord Vader, your backhoe is ready

When did old-fashioned wrecking
 balls go out of style, anyway?
Wide shot from across Norfolk

They're not kidding, folks!
