Interior Window Trim Installed on First Floor of the Telephone Building

Interior finish work is progressing at the historic Telephone Building, where crews have installed new window trim along the first-floor storefront. Carpenters completed the trim installation by securely attaching wooden elements to the building’s steel frame.

The trim ties the storefront to the underlying wood supports, creating a seamless visual line and reinforcing long-term durability. Painted to match the interior, the new trim continues the detailed craftsmanship aligned with the building’s overall design vision.

Like all work on the Telephone Building, this task supports the broader goal of blending historical preservation with modern standards.
