ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WIVB) - One of the Rochester-area's largest and best known buildings is now rubble.

The 19-story St. Ann's Heritage Tower was imploded Saturday morning, using 160-pounds of explosives. The tower was built in 1973 in the suburb of Irondequoit as senior living apartments.

Officials say it didn't have enough space, leading to its destruction.
