Southwest Entrance Trim Installed at the Woolworth Building

New trim at entry door. — Trim installed around the southwest entrance.

Crews have added decorative trim around the southwest entryway of the Woolworth building. The trim is secured around the doorframe and windows, giving the entryway a more defined and finished appearance. After each piece is installed, a crew member sands the surfaces to ensure a clean, consistent finish. This trim installation enhances the architectural character and 1930s-inspired design of the building.
