First-Floor Framing and Drywall Begin at the Peoples Bank Building

Measuring drywall panels. — Crews measure drywall panels to ensure an accurate fit before installation.

Work is underway at the Peoples Bank building as framing and drywall installation begin on the first floor, marking a key step in shaping the interior layout. The process starts with careful measuring and installation of wall framing, which establishes the placement of future rooms and corridors. Once the framing is set, drywall is installed to begin defining the space visually and structurally. This work transforms the open interior into a floor plan and brings the Peoples Bank building closer to its restored form.
