Storefront Installed at the Woolworth Building

Workers installing storefront framing. — The storefront entry takes shape as crews secure the framing and install the glass.

Crews have installed the storefront at the Woolworth building completing one of the most visible elements of the building’s restoration. The black metal frame was carefully fitted into the façade openings, ensuring a precise alignment with the building’s historic architecture. Once secured, crews installed the entry doors and positioned the large glass panes into each section of the frame. The completed storefront creates a bright, welcoming entryway that blends modern craftsmanship with the Woolworth building’s timeless character.
