Abandoned Building in Egg Harbor Twp., NJ, Finally Demolished

An abandoned building that has been a big eyesore in Egg Harbor Township for years is crumbling to the ground today.

From around 2011 through 2013, a church operated in the small tan building at 6024 Black Horse Pike, although that structure was there long before then. Based on Google Maps images, by 2015, it was boarded up and not much has happened there since.

Until today, that is.

Demolition Gets Underway Thursday Morning

As of early Thursday morning, that building is being demolished to make way for a new car wash that will sit on 6.25 acres of prime real estate between Aldi and M&S Produce, right at Tower Avenue.

Meanwhile, right next door, work is moving at an insanely fast pace on what will be the latest location of 7 Brew Coffee.

We took this picture on January 7th, and since then -- in just a matter of days -- a mostly pre-fabricated building has already been erected on that lot.
