The newly unveiled building at 459 Alvarado St. provides a backdrop for the farmers market in downtown Monterey on Tuesday. The building replaces the T.A. Work Building, which was heavily damaged by fire in February 2007. The fire displaced 22 businesses and caused the 100-year-old structure to be demolished. A year ago, an event was held to mark the start of construction of two new buildings. The project includes 21 apartments, three retail spaces and two restaurants. - David Royal — Monterey Herald
