Eighth St.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The takedown is likely to be completed in just one day, but the cleanup and removal of the debris that&#8217;s left will take longer, Witte said<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The building going down is only some eight feet from a home to its south (see photo). And it&#8217;s not all that far from a home to the north, on the corner of Eighth and Monroe streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fearing the closeness of the demolition, residents of the other two structures will be asked by Witte&#8217;s department to leave until the crumbling home is down. \u201cWe don&#8217;t want them in there,\u201d Witte told the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eighth St. will closed from Monroe St. to Madison St.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The demolition was delayed by the discovery and removal of asbestos in the basement.
