Demolition work inside the historic Woolworth building has progressed to a critical reconstruction phase. The east stairwell, which was not code-compliant, was fully removed to make way for a new stair structure that meets current safety codes and design standards.
To enable this upgrade, crews first cut into the existing concrete slab to accommodate reinforcements. Then, a new stairwell foundation was formed and poured, establishing the base for vertical construction. Once the foundation cured and was ready, masons laid the first eight-foot section of concrete blocks, marking the start of the shaft rebuild.
