A landmark building near where the MGM Springfield casino is being built is coming under the wrecking ball.
The brick building that once housed Albano’s Market, where generations of people enjoyed Italian ice made from a secret family recipe, is being razed along with four other structures on the one-acre site to make way for redevelopment.
In 2015, sisters Filomena Bruschi and Theresa D’Angelantonio closed the market their parents had opened 73 years earlier.
Real estate investors paid $1.1 million for the property, which is two blocks from where the MGM casino will open in 2018.
