(12-5-2014) NEVER trespass on a construction site, this was done with proper clearances. Anyway enjoy a tour of this beautiful 1920s building as it is being refurbished. I LOVE seeing a neglected historic building being brought back to its original splendor. This building is a beautiful art deco building complete with an arcade (mall) and after at least 14 years of vacancy is finally being shown the love she deserves. Also enjoy a ride on a Fraco Construction Hoist as well as the interior vintage OTIS elevators that were modded in the 1980s by Virginia elevator with a relay logic controller.
