Demolition has started on Station 2 at 1003 S. Hamilton Road in Chapel Hill. The 1959 structure will be rebuilt as a two-story structure, erected as part of a public-private partnership that will include a four-story office building on the site.

Engine 2 has relocated to a temporary facility, located around the corner at 204 Finley Golf Course Road. That opened around January 9. They’ll be there about a year. Here are a few more photos of the site, from Yours Truly.
