Demolition of the burned-out Murray Realty Complex in Wilkes-Barre, PA is underway.

Machinery started taking down the building on Courtright Avenue Tuesday morning. Engineers said it's unsafe and the city is using more than $300,000 of state money to tear it down.

That means about one-third of the huge complex will be removed.

The building that was once a silk mill and later offices burned in a spectacular fire last month.

Demolition work is expected to take about a month.
