VIDEO: Demolition Crew Wipes Out Woodland Nursery

Local residents watch workers tear down Malverne landmark.

"We Make Things Disappear" read the T-shirts of the demolition workers who have been ripping down the old buildings at the Woodland Nursery site in Malverne this week.

Since Monday they have been gradually doing just that to the three structures that stood on the property, including one home that dates back to the 1850s.

While they hit some snags along the way that delayed progress, the historic at 131 Franklin Avenue finally fell Tuesday afternoon as a few local residents looked on. While digging through the rubble they came upon some interesting findings.
