Final Interior Paint Touch-ups Complete at Telephone Building

Paint touch-ups — Restoration team paints remaining steel beams to match the finished interior on the first floor.

Crews completed the final phase of interior paint work at the historic Telephone Building, applying a consistent finish to all exposed wood and steel beams in the first-floor tenant space. This detail brings visual cohesion to the area and marks one of the last steps in the building’s restoration.

The finish work aligns with the project’s broader goals of architectural integrity and cohesion—providing a seamless transition from old to new as the building prepares to welcome future tenants.
