Work began Monday on the Safe Routes to School project, which includes sidewalk and intersection repair on streets near the school. Completion is set for Oct. 30. The $160,000 project was fully funded with an ODOT grant. The bid was won by Helms and Sons Excavating, Findlay. Most of the work includes a new sidewalk on the west side of Grand north of Buckeye and fixing the confusing intersection at Grand and Highland. (Monty Siekerman photo)

It's not Jericho in the year 1400 BCE, but the walls came tumbling down Monday at the site of the former First Baptist Church of Ada, in the 100 block of East Highland Avenue, where many a sermon was preached and weddings and funerals were held.
The property has been owned by Midwest Rehab Inc. for several years. The brick portion to the north will be saved. The stained glass windows were taken out by the wrecking ball. Several years ago, the church moved to West North Street (State Route 81) where there was more space for worship and activities, land and parking.
