Restored retaining wall detail |
Archive Number |
DTR09PH125 |
Description |
Exterior detail view of western [restored] segment of the low retaining wall abutting the higher retaining wall which stabilizes the upper grade along the east eaves wall. This restored wall segment is laid with bed mortar but no pointing in the exposed joints, presenting the appearance of a "dry-laid" wall. The upper surface is parged [lighter mortar coating] and sloped away from the building to minimize the effects of roof runoff on the east eaves wall and to protect the vertical mortar joints in the low wall. See DTR09PH127--1001.01.223 for a view of the full length of the lower wall. Larry Ward, 2010 |
