Work to take down the historic but significantly damaged building on the corner of Court Street and Currajong Street began on Tuesday with the removal of the steel roof and paneling.
Demolishing the building itself will take place in the days to come.
The former restaurant operating as Bent for a number of years before it became the Court Street Cafe - and was soon to open as a new Italian restaurant called Cafe Aglio e Olio - was gutted by fire in the early hours of July 19.
Cafe Aglio e Olio was only 10 days out from opening before the business owners and the motel owner heard the heartbreaking news.
The Court Street Motel located on the same premises next door was untouched by the fire and its occupants evacuated at the time.
NSW Police and Fire and Rescue NSW fire investigators had been investigating the fire.

I love sharing people's stories, particularly local stories that are special and important to the people of Parkes. If there is one thing I have learnt in my 10 years of community journalism, it's that stories are everywhere. All it takes is a good story teller to make it worth reading.
