Interior

Crews from Gerken Construction and DeWitt Construction have finished interior demolition, removing the remaining interior walls exposing the original pillars and beams. The original 1922 trusses are being reinforced with steel and LVL beams, which is a laminated veneer lumber that provides stability. Crews have started framing walls on the top floor.

Basement

The demolition crew has removed the boiler pipes and ceiling grid in the basement. The doors to the stairwells that have been sealed for decades have been removed and are lighting up the basement. With the old interior walls removed, you can start to see how it will all come together, comparing the beams in the first photo with the beams in the architect's rendering.
