The top of the T is what was removed from the Carlton’s building.
Removing a portion of the cinder block structure took over a month, beginning with the roof. 
The demo process was kind of like taking apart a building, one Lego at a time.
With the second floor removed, the crew moves on to the first floor.
The holes connecting the still-existing building have been bricked shut.
Before it was a clothing store, the old Carlton’s building housed a movie theater.
What remains of the existing Carlton’s building has been gutted.
Renovations of the existing building continue on the Rehoboth Avenue side. The Carlton’s sign is officially gone.

The First Church of Christ Scientist structure that sat on the corner of Bayard Avenue and Norfolk Street has been demolished.
The Christian Science church was established in 1956 in Rehoboth Beach.
With the church gone, the demolition team starts to level the earth.
As of April 10, a pile of old concrete is all that remains where the Christian Science church once stood.
The former church lot sits ready to be developed.

The demolitions of two notable buildings in Rehoboth Beach have been completed.
Beginning with the Carlton’s building on Rehoboth Avenue, demolition of the rear part of that structure has been underway since the end of February. The building is T-shaped and collocated on Rehoboth Avenue and the southern portion of the Baltimore Avenue lot abutting it.
The top of the T is what was removed. As of April 10, the crew on site was working toward patching holes in the wall with cinder blocks. The remaining portion of the Carlton’s building has been gutted and is being turned into two spaces.
The clothing store was founded in 1960 by Harry Derrickson, and had been run by Trey and Marcia Kraus since 2005 before it closed in December. Prior to being a clothing store, the building was home to a movie theater.
The second well-known building is the First Church of Christ Scientist structure at the corner of Bayard Avenue and Norfolk Street. The church was established in 1956 as a branch of The Mother Church in Boston, Mass., founded in 1879. Demolition of this structure began April 8 and was all but completed by April 10.
The church property and an empty lot to the south were purchased by an LLC from Harrisburg, Pa., in February for a total of $5.5 million. It’s unclear what the future plans are for the property. City code would allow for the church lot to be subdivided into three smaller lots, for a total of four lots, all zoned R-1 residential.
