IBM Endicott Demolition: Hidden Bundy Building Now Exposed

As the project to tear down several unused IBM buildings continues in Endicott, more of the historic Bundy Manufacturing building has been revealed.

The massive demolition job on North Street between McKinley and Hayes avenues has been underway for nearly four months.

Broome County historian Roger Luther and others have been observing the project since it began on December 31.

Luther returned to the site Tuesday to take additional photographs as more of the Bundy building was exposed. The Bundy factory initially employed about 100 people when production began in August 1905.

Bundy was a forerunner of the enterprise that grew into the International Business Machines Corporation - IBM.

Now - almost 120 years after it was first used - the structure is about to be removed as Gorick Construction Company crews move into the final phase of the demolition project.

It appears about two-thirds of the buildings that had been targeted for removal have been torn down.

The project reportedly has been moving a bit ahead of schedule. After all of the structures have been taken down, plans call for the 10-acre site to be graded so it will be considered "shovel-ready" for redevelopment.
