Scaffolding Comes Down at the Peoples Bank Building as Exterior Work Advances

Scaffolding is removed from Peoples Bank Building. — The Peoples Bank exterior re-emerges as scaffolding is taken down.

Scaffolding has been dismantled at the Peoples Bank building as exterior work reaches a new phase. Sections of the structure are becoming visible again along Cleveland Street, marking steady progress after weeks of concentrated façade activity.

Work continues at ground level as teams move materials, break down temporary systems, and prepare for the next stage of restoration. With more of the building now exposed, the full scale and presence of the structure at the corner begin to emerge—signaling a shift from heavy exterior work to final detailing.
