Jon Duffy watches as the final pieces of St. Francis de Sales Church in Waterville are brought down Wednesday. He said he gathered there with others to witness the passing of the old church. Several reasons including high maintenance costs led to the demolition of the church, which was finished in 1874. A three-story housing complex will go up at the site and is expected to be completed in June 2014.
