Demolition of downtown Orlando's 'round building' ongoing

Deadlines have come and gone and the remains of the so called "round building" still sit on front of the Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center in Downtown Orlando.

Demolition started in early September, and it was hoped the building, also known as the American Federal Building, would be gone before the new theaters opened in November. It didn't happen.

The city released a statement on Tuesday, which reads in part, "While we are disappointed that the demolition of the "round building" has taken longer than anticipated, the demolition process is still on-going and continuing as fast as possible."

The statement also said that officials will consider issuing fines once the building is down.
