Walk-Through and Salvage Before Interior Demolition Video

Bob and Chris Vila review the spaces and fixtures in the New York Brownstone prior to demolition. In the pink kitchen, 50s cabinets with interior lighting are marked for architectural salvage. The cut-through to the front apartment still has the door and the intercom feature on the wall. They continue to the front of the apartment where a pink-tiled bathroom with an elegant, vintage sink on tapered legs will also be marked for salvage. A series of chopped-up spaces lead to the front room, which has high, iron casement windows and ceilings that are 12 feet or more. Bob and Chris Vila look at the windows that will be removed and replaced once they receive the Landmarks Preservation Commission's approval.
