Demolition crews began work on the former Fire Station No. 5 Saturday morning.
The structure is in the path of road realignment needed for access to the $145 million riverfront headquarters to be built for Fidelity National Information Services Inc. at 323 Riverside Ave.
The Downtown Investment Authority approved a notice of disposition Nov. 13 to give a 30-day window to anyone interested in buying and relocating the 7,152-square-foot structure but received no responses.
Warden Construction will complete the demolition by the end of January.
