HMC LLC Hospital Demolition, Trenton, MI 48183.

Drone Brothers captured stockpile images as last steps in the HMC LLC’s hospital demolition project at 2171 West Jefferson Avenue, Trenton, Michigan, 48183.

When the wrecking ball smashed into the remains of what used to be the Riverside Osteopathic Hospital this week, Trenton Mayor Steven Rzeppa shouted with delight.

“Seeing the pictures of the exterior demolition on Wednesday was one of my proudest and happiest days as mayor here,” Rzeppa said in an email to the Detroit Free Press. “It’s been a blighted structure in an otherwise beautiful part of town with so much potential. Our residents have deserved better and we’re happy that that relief is finally coming.”

But for countless others — the thousands of moms who gave birth there, the children who said goodbye to moms and dads who died there, the folks patched up for broken bones or stitches in the ER — Riverside Hospital leaves behind a host of memories.
