By October 2003, excavation was nearly complete and steel had been erected in the southwest quadrant of the site (center left). The first steel column had been raised on September 5, 2003. Corrugated steel roof decking can also be seen in front of the House Steps, and a 300-foot-high tower crane punctuated the high level of construction activity that occurred in October. The gently sloping pedestrian paths leading from First Street NE/NW (foreground) had begun to be defined. The south oval area (left ) was densely packed with trailers, equipment, and materials. |
