PHOTOS: Ink Block Demolition Continues on Harrison Ave

A crane and wrecking ball continue to tear down the former Boston Herald building to make way for the new Ink Block development.

The former Boston Herald building is officially no more.

Demolition has been underway for the last several weeks at the Harrison Ave site of the future Ink Block Developement, a $200 million mixed-use project that will feature hundreds of apartments and a Whole Foods supermarket.

At the demolition site this week, construction crews used a crane and a wrecking ball to tear down the small portion remained standing of the Herald building.
