The interior was in pretty bad shape from years of neglect. I know they saved a few of the panels that made up the corner facade. It turned out to be too expensive to remove them. Patrick (president of the demo company) showed me a token he found inside. Apparently he carries it around in his pocket.

I'll go to town in a couple of hours to get bricks. I hope I get there before they're all sold out.
