A New Concrete Slab Is Poured at the Back of the Telephone Building

Crews completed a concrete pour behind the Telephone Building, covering approximately 250 square feet. The work creates a level, durable surface that improves access to the building’s service alley for entry and waste removal.

The team prepared the site in a single day and completed the pour the following morning. The slab will cure fully over 30 days, ensuring long-term stability and utility behind this historic 1914 structure.
