Bricks fall from Locust Street building after heavy rain
Emergency crews were called to the northern section of Bank Avenue Saturday afternoon for a report of bricks falling from the side of a building. Several broken bricks were found on the roadway near the intersection of Bank Avenue and Locust Street. According to witnesses, the bricks were dislodged when lightning struck the building during a storm that passed through that afternoon. The side of the building has several missing bricks and a partial veneer of concrete near the top, which may have been applied to secure loose bricks.

Good luck Art Printing.
ReplyDeleteBuilding was hit by lightning, causing the bricks to fall. But by the looks of it, it would be falling soon anyway.
ReplyDeleteHow is this code compliant? half the bricks are decaying and looks like the rest of that side could come down at anytime.
