The Day the House Came Down
Valerie Gillies
Editor, Lucknow Sentinel
It took less than 4 hours
for Lloyd Collins Construc-
tion Ltd. to demolish the
duplex at 656 Wheeler Street
at the corner of Victoria
Street in Lucknow. This
property had been pur-
chased by Huron -Kinloss
Township in 2014.
Late in the fall, Lloyd Col-
lins Construction Ltd. was
one of the tenders for the
demolition job and was
granted the contract
through Huron -Kinloss
Township Council. The con-
tract was for demolition of
the structures on the adjoin-
ing properties and general
cleanup of the lots.
The back of the main
buildings were tackled
around noon on January 12,
2015. The dwellings were
entirely down by approxi-
mately 3:30 p.m. on the same
afternoon. The 3 -bay garage
at the south-east corner of
the lot was demolished the
following morning while
trucks hauled away the
debris from the main demo-
lition. Scrap metal was
loaded into a bin and was
taken away last.
The foundation area was
cleaned out and filled with
fresh fill before the con-
struction fencing was
removed and the crews left
the properties.

iilFl: l�li�l Illi III
The exterior finish of the main buildings was broken up and
knocked down to reveal the wooden structure. January 12, 2015.
The addition on the east side of the duplex was the next to fall.
January 12, 2015.
Once a large portion of the lower level of the home was knocked
down, the entire building shook as the roof portion and second story
of the main eastern section was caused to cave in. January 12, 2015.
Time for a short break after the east end of the building is collapsed. This is the machine that did the entire demolition for Lloyd Collins
Construction Ltd. January 12, 2015.
