Gougler Demolition
The base of the former C.L. Gougler and Machine Co.'s smokestack has been exposed through demolition. A target date for bringing down the massive brick structure is April 25.

In a little less than a month a landmark that has loomed large over Kent's landscape for almost a century will disappear forever.

Demolition crews working at the former C.L. Gougler and Machine Co. on Lake Street have a target date of April 25 for demolishing the old factory's massive smoke stack.

The former factory, which dates to around 1920, has been under demolition since December.

Is the stack really leaning that much, or is it just the angle of the photos messing with my eyes?
