Mudding Brings Smooth, Polished Finishes to the Restored Woolworth Building’s Interior

Mudding drywall around doors. — Crews apply mud to the interior walls around the doors, continuing the restoration work.

Interior restoration work continues at the Woolworth Building as walls are mudded to complete the finishing phase. Mudding transforms rough drywall into smooth, stable surfaces, preserving the building’s historic character while ensuring the space remains functional. This step not only enhances the building’s original beauty but also adds durability, helping protect the interior from moisture and wear. These finishing touches bring the building closer to completing its restoration, seamlessly blending the space’s rich history with careful restoration work.
