They are keeping the original finish and replacing molding etc where needed. The double sash windows will be kept - but with a 4" limit to the opening. Nice wood floors.

The arches are structural - must stay.


Elevator cages will be enclosed and the cars replaced w modern equipment (n.b. Up and Down lights)


The tin ceiling in the basement is too far gone.
