Click on images above for greater detail. If you look closely, you will notice that the ONLY part of the existing building that will remain are the areas in black. All the other areas will be demolished and part of new construction. I estimate that 25 to 30% of the existing walls, less than 20% of the exterior walls, will remain. The entire second floor is being demolished.
WE ARE NOT SAVING THE CASINO BUILDING - This is another fraud perpetrated by those that did not appreciate the poor condition of the building documented in eight different structural reports and that chose to re-build a building seaward of the coastal construction line. This is NOT historic preservation - period. Instead of having the flexibility of putting the building where it fits best, we are left with the existing location as the only alternative.
After the demolition is finished, the building will look like a rectangular version of this:
Which is appropriate for the full moon rituals taking place at the beach.
