DOWNTOWN RICHMOND BUILDING'S FACADE PEELED BACK

(Richmond, IN)--The façade on a large downtown Richmond building is being peeled back to see what lies underneath.  It’s the Harris Bank building at the northwest corner of 8th and East Main.  That building is now 115 years old.  It was covered with its current metal front decades ago.  Crews from AP Development are peeling it back temporarily to see the design of what’s underneath and to assess its condition.  Construction bids have not gone out yet.  It’s one of five iconic downtown Richmond buildings targeted for upgrades through the Revitalize Richmond project.
