I don't think they have to fireproof that truss, since it's no longer a functional structural element. If they had, the fireproofing material would have given it a very rough, crude texture, not at all eye-pleasing. I saw that they painted it a while back and I believe that gray color is the final product.

Still wondering when they're going to complete the marquee above the Chestnut St restaurant entrance. They did a wonderful job with the etched Art Deco glass* above, but the cartoonish, flat 3D-ish painted depiction of neon on the marquee has got to go. Then again the restaurant is running a bit late as well, to have opened Fall 2018.
