The northeast wing windows are now in and the shingles are being installed on the roof. Soon this entire wing will be weather tight! On the southeast wing, the second floor walls are going up. The large window openings that you can see in the top photo are for the first floor common area rooms.
Here's a look at some of the Shillman House southeast wing common areas from the inside! The interior walls are not yet installed, but you can almost envision that someday soon this will be the building's entry area, bistro, convenience store, computer center and library. Imagine the wonderful morning light that will shine through these east-facing windows!
