Description

A crew works to demolish Centennial Mills on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, in Portland. Crews began taking down the exterior walls of the warehouse, which burned Aug. 2, bringing the building to about half its original height.

Roger Farnen biked onto Portland’s Broadway Bridge Monday to join the crowd watching demolitionists blow up the Centennial Mills water tower, one of those odd events that, like fireworks or a car wreck, turns hundreds of necks to rubber.
