Here are some pictures of the building construction which will house the model railroad display, Milwaukee Road Historical Association displays and the new home for the Pullman Library Archives.  The museum should be very proud of this monumental construction project.  Dave Diamond has done a marvelous job  as general contractor scheduling the various companies to complete this building!

outside brick laying begins

Contractors can install brick but it must be heated in the area.

These contractors are installing the huge heating and a/c plants.

This is what it looks like from the inside as they are laying the brick and cement block.

Window framing is almost done.

Another view from the inside. Please notice the large plastic curtain. That is how the heat is kept in the work area.

Inside the front half of the building. The wall is the divider between front and back half of building.

Close-up view of the exterior.

Another angle

Brick work is almost done the plastic has been removed to show the front of the building.

Another exterior view.

A close up view of the brick work. All the masonry work was being preformed a week either side of the Christmas holiday.

Talking to Dave he hopes to have the building interior finished by either late Spring or early Summer of this year.
