If the bricks can be removed from the building with little damage, they are quite valuable for resale. The contractor in bidding this job most likely has already established avenues for selling what they pull out of this place. If everything is so valuable and precious as they claim, the demolition contractor will be happy to make some money off it. The owner of the property has one objective of wanting the cleared piece of land. The demolition contractor will give the owner that. Matt’s probably right on the salvaging.

Just the copper wiring alone is probably worth a lot. Oops. I guess we know what tomorrow's headline will be. "Thieves steal copper wiring from Wilshire Village." Hopefully that indicates that some of the building materials are being saved.

I lived on a 40 acre property that had 40 year old live oak trees, two streams, a natural waterfall and small lake and rolling terrain. All of the above were spared during building demo then later mowed down,graded and filled in later. Don't get too attached to those Wilshire trees folks. So true.

They could be just there for demolition of buildings and removal of pavement. The owner may have another clearing and grubbing contractor that could come later and rip the trees and other plant out of the property.
