June 2, 2014. Check out more photos of the implosion of Winkler Hall on the campus of Appalachian State University.
Built in 1974, the 11-story dorm that housed 132 students was demolished on Sunday morning. ASU officials said the cost to renovate Winkler Hall wasn’t practical. The site is being analyzed for a potential residence hall.
This is the second round of photos of the implosion. Check out photos published on Sunday here. That link also includes a video of the implosion.
Also, check out a preview article of the demolition that includes memories from those that lived in the dorm and historic shots of the structure here.
