That's really sad. I remember reading a book about one of the trolley lines that went through Brownsville, PA (I think this one was the West Penn Railways) and I got interested in the towns along the line and there was a DVD made about the West Penn Railways. Anyway, from what I understand, these were the grand buildings along the main street of the times. Would be interesting to see historical pics of the heyday of these towns. Really a shame.
Upsetting to watch. The buff brick building was the Snowden Building. The building next to it, was the Odd Fellows. I was in the Odd Fellows building about 10 years ago. It was dated, but structurally sound at that time. The Snowden Building's interior was really bad, since the roof had not been maintained. Appears nothing was saved from any of the facades. Sadly, many buildings in Connellsville have met the same fate. These buildings and there history are irreplaceable.
Sad. I read or heard that there was a second old hospital abandoned in the area, does anyone know of this and it's possible location? Not the one next to the old nurse's home but a second one. Thanks in advance if you do.
Years and years of neglect those buildings were really unsafe. It is a shame that the hole town is like that. I missed the first building coming down but saw video of it. They tap it and it all came down at once.
60yrs of neglect. Those buildings were dangerous. Roofs collapsed and all the floors fell in. Bricks started falling off the buildings into the street.

There’s couple of fb pages that post pictures of the old town all the time.
Thanks to Mr Liggett who promised to restore Brownsville! How sad to see history coming down!
He made nothing but empty promises
A once proud area gone into the history books. Sad to see this happening all up and down the Mon Valley.
This is so hard to watch. Horrible. That beautiful facade just obliterated.
No. It is time.

Thank you for this video!
Wow. What a waste…. All of that beautiful trim at the top could have been saved.😢
The town is pretty much abandoned and all the buildings are in really bad shape. Those buildings floors were all collapsed into the basement.

The hospital is in really bad shape. I think it’s next to be demolished. I have a video of it.
@@Maddog4x4 Is it a different hospital than the one next to the old nurse's home? If so, do you know it's location? Ty.
They are all built on stilts? What will happen after ??
No stilts. Turn into grass until someone decides to buy the land
A huge part of past ..........Gone !
This is a shame.
No dust control. Hitting wires. Wrong attachment on the long reach excavator must have went to a cheap company.
It was! They didn’t even do a good job of cleaning up
The had 1 hose spraying in the back.. not nearly enough
So... they thought "it is better" to have the town´s history destroyed. Good Lord, do not delay your next coming.

The old Brownsville Hospital should be next.
As unsafe as the buildings were, it would cost far more to try to save them, than it would to build all new buildings
@@Maddog4x4 that hospital is gone now
@@bradmagnuson6963 I did a drone video on the hospital as it was getting demolished.
Make Brownsville great again
why?!?!!!
Why what?
did it have fire damage or why was it torn down

@@cpexplores5483 can’t wait to see it!
