New Elevator Shaft Construction Underway at Peoples Bank

Crew pours concrete into hollow concrete blocks during the phased elevator shaft construction. — Masons fill concrete block cells in stages to ensure strength and stability.

Crews have started constructing a new elevator shaft inside the historical Peoples Bank. The original shaft was removed earlier in the renovation because it didn’t meet current codes, so a new elevator pit was dug and poured to create a strong concrete foundation.

Masons are erecting the new shaft using concrete blocks and filling each section to ensure structural integrity. This process sets the stage for a fully modern elevator system within the building’s historical envelope.

Workers prepare vertical steel rebar supports to reinforce the next level of the new elevator shaft. — Crew members align steel rebar rods before the next concrete pour inside the elevator shaft.

Worker constructs elevator shaft walls inside the Peoples Bank. — New concrete block walls rise from the elevator pit.

Construction worker fills hollow concrete blocks with poured concrete to reinforce the elevator shaft structure. — A worker pours concrete into stacked blocks for the new elevator shaft.
