| Not much has changed at the long-vacant Warner Swasey factory in the six years since this streetview was captured. But a lot could change over the next six months, starting with a demolition of the sawtooth-shaped factory structures to the left of the company’s brick office building which will be kept and, if financing closes in November, renovated thereafter into affordable apartments (Google).

It’s been a long road for the former Warner & Swasey plant, 5701 Carnegie Ave. in Cleveland’s Midtown neighborhood, to become a useful building again. And while it doesn’t have all of its financial pieces available yet to complete its $52 million puzzle, those last five pieces have been identified and are in the process of being secured.

Demolition crews got to work this week taking down St. Vincent Charity Medical Center, 2351 E. 22nd St,, where the southeast side of Downtown Cleveland meets the Central neighborhood. But it won’t be the only demolition in this area in the coming years.
