Demolition has begun on the General Assembly Building at 9th and Broad streets in Downtown. The pillared façade that faces the State Capitol is the only part of the nine-story building that is to be saved. Planned for the site is a new 15-story building to be completed and opened by 2021. A parking garage also is to the part of the $300 million development. The money also is to pay for renovation of Old City Hall, the Victorian Gothic Revival building at right, which was built in 1894.
