They put in fresh concrete beams under the building, reclaiming the lO0-year-old white oak beams that were there and incorporating into the front reception desk. One interior wall is extremely thick because it was an exte- rior wall until an alleyway was dosed in the 1920k They tried to save some of the brick, but it was too far gone.
