The walls of the restaurant beneath the tower have also mostly been torn down. Some sheathing is exposed on the side.

The basic structure of the building will remain for the Cake Bake Shop, but much of it has to be torn down before actual construction can begin.

The roof below the tower will also have windows, so we will probably see these shingles removed soon.
