Workers begin to demolish the remains of the Wilson Furniture store in Bridgeport this past weekend after a fire gutted the structure several weeks ago. Owner Jason Wilson said the building, built in the 1880s, was damaged too severely to save. A portion of the old store may be salvageable, but that remained uncertain as of Friday. The store continues to operate in its adjacent mattress sales facility.
