Toting bricks

John Harris, foreground, and Joe Berry collect and salvage bricks at a Levee Street building that formerly housed Surplus City. The roof and exterior walls of the 104-year-old building at City Front have been torn down with the task of compiling the wood and bricks for building owner Malcolm Carson still in progress. The building, long the Lassiter Grocery Building, had been vacant since 2005 before demolition last year.
