A flickr user got some photos of the demolition:

That was a neat building, and I wish I got some photos of it before it came down. Sigh...

I remember that spot in the 50's when there was a small store that sold groceries and beer. I don't know being in Evergreen park how they sold beer. Evergreen was a dry town in the 50'and most of the folks were Dutch Reform Christians.
