Storefront Trim Installation Progresses at the Woolworth Building

Woolworth Storefront — Crews align decorative trim pieces along the Woolworth storefront.

Crews are installing decorative storefront trim at the Woolworth building. This work brings a period-accurate design to the storefront. Each piece is measured, cut and secured to the storefront, then aligned to the architect’s specifications to maintain period accuracy. The trim is laid out around all the windows and doors. Crews use leveling tools to keep each piece straight and consistent across the façade. These details will frame the period-accurate windows and enhance the look of the ground-floor main entrance.

Close-up of trim area being mapped out. — Each trim section is measured and leveled to ensure a precise fit.

Sequential trim pieces along storefront bays. — Trim installation proceeds along each window.
