Theater garage torn down in Hartley
A cavernous cistern was uncovered during the demolition.
Hartley officials hope to demolish the rest of the Capitol Theatre next year.
One more structure in downtown Hartley hit the ground last week.
The garage behind the old Capitol Theatre was demolished by James Vogt and crew. Vogt earlier this month demolished the former Real Reflections salon and remaining front portion of the former Create-A-Craft building.
A cistern was revealed during demolition of the garage, which has since been filled in. City officials hope to remove the condemned Capitol Theatre next year if grant funding is secured through the state. Recent estimates have tabbed the demolition project at $110,000-$185,000.
