The Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club on Marietta Street was demolished Wednesday after about a year of remaining vacant.

The club was closed last June after a financial crunch.

The local advisory board recommended the cutbacks after hearing from a study committee that looked at the Salvation Army’s overall budget.

The Marietta Street building was more than 40 years old and repair costs had been mounting for years.
