Construction of the steel frame has extended beyond the new derrick in all directions. The tops of the steel columns--white I-shaped members--are visible throughout the temporary wood plank work platform. A second derrick has been erected on the Wall Street lot to facilitate erection of the steel frame at this portion of the building. The Pine Street derrick operator is preparing to "pick" or raise a new steel member from Pine Street. A truck waiting to deliver another member is parked to the east. At the Wall Street frontage a smaller crane removes the temporary wooden roadway.
