Restoration plumbers have completed copper piping on the second floor of the historic Peoples Bank building—establishing the new water system that will serve the upper levels. Each fixture location, including restrooms and drinking fountains, was carefully measured and marked to align with modern standards while fitting within the building’s original framework. Crews then routed copper lines from the first floor through the decking and secured them to roof trusses above. The installation marks a major step toward bringing updated infrastructure to the century-old landmark.
