Residents take home a piece of history as IBM buildings are demolished
ENDICOTT, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Endicott residents had a chance to take home a piece of IBM history on Wednesday.
The Village hosted Old Building Group Brick Day.
A pile of bricks was made available for people to take as souvenirs.
They came from the demolition of the former IBM factory buildings at the corner of North Street and McKinley Avenue.
Big Blue was founded in Endicott and was a fixture of the local community for nearly 100 years, employing as many as 20,000 workers at one time.
David Brennan, who works for Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo, says the brick is a great memento of our area's rich history of innovation.
'IBM is kind of what built Endicott. It is an integral part of our history, and to have a piece of what it was and a reminder of where it's going to go next is both optimistic and sentimental. It is just a good thing to have,' said Brennan.
While IBM no longer has physical offices in our area, it still has some remote work employees.
Demolition of the old factory buildings is nearing completion.
