- Workers began the process of tearing down the Sphar building on North Main Street Friday morning, as they removed bricks around the front door. City officials and residents hoped to preserve the building and turn it into a welcome center and office space, but bids routinely came in above available funds. The former seed house will be demolished and the site will be filled to grade. (Photo by Fred Petke)
