Last week, new windows were installed. This is after the steel false front was removed, and the cinderblocks in the window spaces were removed. What an improvement!
Today, the first of two replacement cornices was installed. You can see from the picture that on the right, the bricks where the cornice goes are not nice and neat like the rest of the brick face. Builders used imperfect bricks to fill the space behind the cornice. The original cornices were removed many years ago when the steel facing was installed.
The new awning was installed about a month ago.
This project is making a big difference in the Main Street Washington downtown district.
