The demolition took place between Biscotti's and Peterbrooke Chocolatier.
A $1 million, 8,000-square-foot building for Southern Grounds will replace the demolished structure.
Fencing is up around the demolition site.
The demolition is done for the construction of Southern Grounds & Co. in Avondale.
Realco Recycling Co. Inc. began demolition Jan. 3 in the Shoppes of Avondale at 3562 St. Johns Ave. to make way for the city’s third Southern Grounds location.
Construction will begin next, with an estimated completion date in late summer, property owner Edward Skinner Jones said previously.
Demolition began at the back of the building, and worked its way forward to the façade.
