Demolition of The Ambassador, formerly Howard Johnson/Best Western in Wheaton (Photos)

The exterior demolition of a building with a lot of history in Wheaton has begun. Over the last few months, crews demolished most of the interior of the former Howard Johnson motel, which later became a Best Western hotel in the 1980s. In recent years, it was The Ambassador apartments. Here is a look after the first 48 hours of demolition.
