First-Floor Electrical Conduits Installed Throughout the Woolworth Building

Workers installing conduit overhead. — Electricians install metal conduits across the first-floor ceiling of the Woolworth building.

Electrical work continues on the first floor of the Woolworth building as crews install large conduits along the ceiling. Using lifts and ladders, electricians position each conduit run and secure it to the trusses with metal conduit support hangers. These sturdy connections suspend the conduit in place, ensuring alignment and long-term stability for the building’s electrical systems. This phase marks a major step toward completing the systems that will power the restored interior.
