At 635 Cleveland Street, crews have removed the drywall ceiling on the south end of the building as part of the ongoing renovation. The building’s high ceilings required the team to use a mechanical lift for safe access. Crowbars and similar tools were used to tear away the drywall panels efficiently. With the ceiling opened, the roof structure became visible and ready for future work on the building’s framework.
