Deconstruction Day at Tivoli aims to recover reusable materials

CHATTANOOGA, TN (WDEF) —  Sometimes you have to break things down to build them back up again.

That was the idea behind Deconstruction Day at the Tivoli.

Crews carefully disassembled parts of the building and recovered everything that could be re-used.

That list included 11 glass and wood interior doors, more than a thousand feet of mahogany trim, custom wood cabinet doors and drawers.

Several organizations collaborated to the make the Deconstruction Day a success.
