Extended Time Lapse Video of New Courthouse Construction
Extended time lapse video in February and March of construction at the site of the new Will County Courthouse taken from my office at Andreano and Lyons 58 N. Chicago Street in downtown Joliet, Illinois.
This video begins in February with a little snow and then foundation work for the new courthouse seen between the two buildings. Then in March, demolition of the First Midwest Bank Building. At about 2:00 minutes in, the facade of the building begins to come down.
