Masons working from swing stages are constructing the common brick party wall between the Bankers Trust annex and the new building to be constructed at the corner of Wall Street and Broadway. Were the older building at this corner still extant, the masons would have been working from the interior of the annex, laying bricks over hand until they had reached the roof of the adjacent building; above the roof of the adjacent building they would work from exterior scaffolding. The scaffolding has been draped with tarpaulins to prevent the new masonry from freezing in the low temperatures of early February 1932.
