West Wall Framing Completed at the Woolworth Building

Crews have completed framing along the second-floor west wall of the Woolworth building. The team installed top, bottom and vertical framing components along the existing brick wall, creating the necessary structure to support the next phase of work. With this step finished, the wall is now ready to receive insulation and drywall—an important milestone in enclosing and finishing the building’s interior. Additional framing was added around each window opening to prepare for the upcoming window installations.
