Installation of the mounting system for the exterior tile panels is underway at the Peoples Bank building, marking a key step in preparing the east façade for its restored finish. Metal rail components are carefully positioned and leveled within recessed wall sections to establish precise alignment for the panel installation.

Each bracket and rail is set to exact measurements, ensuring the system can properly support the weight of the tile panels while protecting the underlying structure. This phase creates the framework necessary for the building’s exterior detailing—bringing the façade closer to its final architectural expression.
