The future 2nd District Montgomery County police station at 4823 Rugby Avenue is beginning to take on the bunker aesthetic seen in the rendering sketches. If the destruction of the office building on Bethesda Avenue was the most unique demolition we've seen in Bethesda history, the police station may represent the most unusual construction process. The walls were created slowly, cinder block by cinder block, something you don't see in the typical residential or office construction in Montgomery County.
Does anyone with construction experience know why the police station was built in this manner? It would be great to get some actual insight. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteWow, you are a hopeless drama queen.
There was nothing "unique" about the process used to demolish the Bethesda Avenue office building. It just happened to be the biggest building demolished so far. But that will change when the 7900 Wisconsin Avenue building, the Blackwell Building and then the Apex Building all come down.
Wow this is ugly. The renderings weren't great but still looked a ton better.
