FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — A historic building in downtown Fresno was being renovated to house a charter school.

Crews have begun demolition work on the old Parker Nash building which was originally built in 1913. The roof must first be removed. The brick shell will remain but everything else will be taken down including the foundation and rebuilt for a structural retrofit.

Construction manager Errol Upton said, “So the outside when you come by the building it will, for the most part, will look the exact same as it does now with some minor touches and improvements but inside there will be a state of the art modern school.”
