With the mezzanine decking dismantled, restoration crews have removed the wood trusses that once supported the elevated platform inside 635 Cleveland Street. Each truss was carefully taken out, marking one of the most substantial steps in the building’s interior demolition. The process opens the way for future design work and clears the interior of a major structural element associated with the mezzanine.
