Revitalization Story

Uptown remains an active renovation, so the gallery does not present a false finished reveal. It begins with the latest exterior, then moves back inside to remediation and structural framing.

The last two views return to the street as boarded openings give way to new sheathing and glazing frames. The sequence shows measurable progress while making clear that the project is still underway.
