Demolition was underway last week for Holderby Hall at Marshall University in Huntington. The nine-story, co-ed dormitory, located on Fifth Avenue, was built in 1961.
The building is being torn down to make room for apartment-style student residences. Holderby was decommissioned several years ago as a dormitory and had been used for office space in recent years.
