Terry Bishop removes copper from the Missionary Ridge mansion built in 1972 by strip club mogul Billy Hull during its demolition on Friday, Sept. 8, 2017, in Chattanooga, Tenn. The mansion, which included a helipad and a Playboy bunny-themed swimming pool, had long been considered a nuisance by Missionary Ridge residents. It was left abandoned only a year after construction when Hull was jailed for hiring a hitman to kill his wife's lover.
