Saving a mosaic on the side of a brick building was a new challenge for most of the people involved in the demolition of Salem’s YMCA.
With the Y-owned apartment building on Court Street nearly demolished, local workers are in the final stages of preserving the community artwork that’s wrapped around the building’s base.
Workers previously cut the mosaic into sections, covered it in plastic and boarded over it to preserve the artwork as the rest of the building is demolished.
The final stage took place Monday, as Travis Orr with Orr Insulation sprayed liquid foam between the layers to hold the mosaic in place.
The artwork should be moved into storage by Jan. 3, field superintendent Jayson Valech said.
