The taxi landmark was torn down via a demolition crew on Sunday making way for the new Assembly Square development project to go forward.

Central Steel, another famous Somerville landmark once located next door to the taxi company, is slated to be torn down on Tuesday of this week.

Also on the demolition chopping block is the storage parking lot situated next door to Somerville’s Winter Hill Yacht Club on Foley Street.

Demolition crews excavated the yacht club parking lot where a Ford plant test track once stood. It was once used to test drive Model T’s as they came rolling off the assembly line at the old plant at Assembly Square owned by Henry Ford.
