A new set of doors for the Woolworth building has arrived on site, marking another visible step in the ongoing restoration. Crews carefully staged each door inside for upcoming installation. These dark wood–stained doors match the 1930s-inspired design of the building, reflecting the historic character being brought back to the interior and exterior spaces. Their arrival moves the project closer to completing the restored entryways throughout the building.
