Crews have installed the second-floor windows at the Woolworth building. Each window was carefully positioned and secured with one crew member on either side of the wall, allowing installers to ensure a precise fit. The windows were selected for their historical accuracy and are designed to replicate the look and proportions of the originals. This installation marks an important visual milestone, restoring the upper façade to its 1920s character while providing modern energy efficiency and durability.
