Demolition of the first home in Love Canal. Located on 99th St. and Frontier Ave.

A fenced-off area contains the remains of a demolished structure, with splintered wood and construction debris scattered on the ground. A person in a white protective suit and yellow hard hat stands to the right, holding a hose spraying water onto the wreckage. Behind the debris, a bulldozer is partially visible, and several people are present at the site. Trees and grassy areas surround the scene.
