Touring the Tower: The Ground Floor
Join Preservation Planner Kim Barker on a video tour of the Tower and Main Building’s first two floors.
Amid the Tower’s restoration, we’re giving you an inside look at all the spaces that make it and the Main Building so special. Join Preservation Planner Kim Barker on a tour of the ground floor as she describes the work being done to restore the Tower’s features to their original designs.
“As part of the main exterior restoration project, we’re going to be conserving the ceiling, restoring the benches, repainting the walls, cleaning up limestone and restoring the light fixtures,” said Barker. “We’re doing a full restoration of the exterior to return the appearance to its completion date of 1937.”
“Touring the Tower: The Ground Floor” is the first in a series of videos that explore the work being done within the Tower and Main Building. Watch below to learn more.
