Over a period of five days, from Thursday to Monday, the landscape was drastically changed at the East Hampton Historical Society's Mulford Farm. On Thursday, Board Members, New York State Assemblyman Fred Thiele, New York State Senator Anthony Palumbo, Society Members and other fans gathered in front of the barn for a "groundbreaking" to celebrate its upcoming replacement to make way for a modern, climate-controlled structure to house Society artifacts. On Sunday, the East Hampton Fire Department took the opportunity, since the barn was to be demolished anyway, to conduct a "Vertical Vent Practice", providing training for members on roof venting management and control in cases of real fire scenes. Monday was the barn's final day, as East Hampton Fire Department's First Assistant Chief Christopher Hatch, in his role at BK Builders, climbed into the cab of the CAT, and, piece by piece, flattened the barn to the ground.
