Default Philadelphia Convention Hall Demo

From lostnyc:

Anyone know about/hear about/was part of- the demo of the Philly convention hall and the adjacent Commercial museum? I'm thinking Mazzochi (?) was involved. I acquired 3 fragments of one of these 19 piece 38" high capitals from the museum, they ran about $500 but they are are great pieces of art.

I am in fact restoring the 3 fragments and replicating the 2 missing designs and will be replicating the entire assembly soon. They will be awesome garden "Roman Ruins" in concrete, and in plaster with a glass top- as a table base.

Yes! Mazzochi did do the demolition of the PhiladelphiaConvention Center. Looks like a lot of salvageable pieces came of the building. Here is a site that has lots of pictures of the removal of the stone.
