First-Floor Drywall Installation Begins at the Woolworth Building

Drywall panels forming interior spaces. — Drywall installation defines rooms and hallways along the first floor.

Crews at the Woolworth building began installing drywall on the first floor. Each panel is fastened to the metal framing, carefully aligned, and secured with power tools to create smooth, even wall surfaces. With each section added, the interior spaces—including hallways and individual rooms—begin to take shape. This stage marks a visible shift from framing to finished interiors, setting the groundwork for the next phase of finishing and detail work.
