Negotiations for a $15,000 contract to raze two old buildings of the old Flock Brewery, now the property of Lycoming College have been completed, according to Kenneth Himes, treasurer and business manager for the college.

The Brewery property was purchased by the college in 1951

Space where the main building and boiler house now stand will be used as a parking lot to ease the problem for students and faculty who drive to the college each day.

The garage and bottling works will not be dismantled at the present time according to Mr. Himes.

Negotiations between the college’s board of directors and Williams and Heath General Contractors were endorsed during the past weekend, Mr. Himes announced.

The actual work of razing the main building and the boiler house will not begin for another week, although the construction firm has already launched the work of salvaging materials from the brewery buildings.

An official from Williams and Heath estimated today that the work dismantling the two buildings will take between two to three months.

By utilizing the brewery property, the college will increase the 12-acre campus by 20 percent, college president, Dr. John W. Long said this morning.

The old Flock property has stood idle for the past five years, except for a brief tenancy of the bottling plant and the garages by a former business firm. In recent months all the buildings have been unoccupied.
