Late last week, the American Legion Post 29 Building in the Upper Eastside was completely demolished to make way for a new American Legion building and a five story apartment complex.

Located at 6445 NE 7th Ave, The American Legion's Harvey Seeds Post 29 building was built in 1966 and named after the first Miami soldier killed in World War I. The building was used for war veterans for events and gatherings.

In later years, a room in the back of the building was used as a bar called Harvey's By The Bay and the parking lot was used for Thursday's on the Bay Food Truck Roundup.
