"Geppert Brothers" demolition was hired to demolish the buildings, while "Delta Removal" was hired to remove hazardous materials; such as lead paint, and asbestos. Abatement and demolition started with "C" buildings, followed by the "W" buildings, and ended with the "N" buildings. No explosives were used in the demolition of any of the buildings. The only existing buildings are used for private drug/alcohol rehabilitation

There you go. For the longest time the buildings were still standing due to asbestos and hazmat.
