dismantler (plural dismantlers)

  1. One who dismantles.
    • 1901, Thomas Hardy, A Man (In Memory Of H. Of M.):
      Condemned to fall
      Were cornice, quoin, and cove,
      And all that art had wove in antique style.
      Among the hired dismantlers entered there
      One till the moment of his task untold.
      When charged therewith he gazed, and answered bold:
      "Be needy I or no,
      I will not help lay low a house so fair!
