also heard starfish is trying to buy the little Mysteries building, current owner apparently doubled his price. |
I'm guessing that stone foundation is part of the old Roy building? How does this tying down process work?
They sure don't build them like that anymore... can't help but imagine the hard work put in by the original builders as that would all have been done by hand.
Also, I noticed all the mortar on the face of the Vogue's bricks. It almost looks to me as they were trying to "glue" the walls together with mortar during the building process, or maybe it was just that the excess mortar couldn't be wiped due to the proximity of the Roy as they were laying bricks for the Vogue (D'Allard) building.
Great photos - thanks for sharing them with us!
Wondering if there has been any archeaological activity going on at the site? I'm sure below the Roy's foundation there would be a high chance of finding some 19th century (or earlier) artifacts.
