Default Structural Gem
Same bldg as recent posts of brick wall and brick 1900 foundation (Exterior Section) The bump out that is 3 stories high, do not know how it is still standing. Floors are way out of level, completely deteriorated wood structure. The screw driver went right through a lot of wood material. Great 2x4 supports!

John, sorry to say, but the seller is better off to let this POS go to the lowest bidder with a wrecking ball.

Wow, to top it off they should have attached a deck to the bay!

The canopy over the door in picture one is particularly elegant, also.
