New Convent Hill Building – Nearing Completetion
New Convent Hill Building Originally uploaded by compujeramey Walking by the new Convent Hill Public Housing building on my way to class today, I was impressed. The exterior of the building has rapidly come together. I’ll try and snag a picture in the next few days. The sidewalk has now been laid, which to me serves as a clue that the exterior is nearly complete and the heavy lift is nearly done. Hard to imagine it was just a pile of steel ten months ago.
