Storefront Entryway Takes Shape with Concrete Finishing at the Woolworth Building

Smoothing concrete at storefront entryway. — Fresh concrete is applied and leveled at the storefront entryway.

Concrete finishing is in progress at the storefront entryway of the Woolworth Building, adding another visible layer to the restoration. Fresh cement is carefully applied, smoothed and leveled to create a clean transition where the sidewalk meets the storefront doors. This step ensures the surface is durable and able to handle daily foot traffic once the space is in use. By refining this key threshold, the entryway begins to take on its finished appearance, reinforcing both function and visual continuity as restoration work on the Woolworth Building continues.

Concrete is shaped to create a clean transition into the storefront.
