Second-Floor Office Spaces Take Shape with Drywall Installation at the Peoples Bank Building

Measuring for drywall installation. — Crews carefully measure each section of the second-floor walls before installing drywall.

Crews at the Peoples Bank building are making visible progress as they begin installing drywall on the second floor, turning the framework into office spaces. Before installing the drywall, crews carefully measured each section to ensure a precise fit and alignment. Drywall panels are then fastened to metal frames, creating smooth, even walls that will define individual offices and hallways. This work is a key part of restoring the building’s historical charm, transforming the space into functional and modern interiors while preserving its architectural integrity.
