The scope of the repair work proposed is for the restoration of the existing brick masonry on the upper section of the north wall. The building is two story, constructed in 1915 with approximately 2,800 square feet of area on each floor level. The lower level construction is continuous concrete spread footings with 12" thick concrete exterior walls and a concrete slab-on-grade floor. The upper floor is framed using 4"x14" DF joists 16" on center with 1"x 6" shiplap board floor sheathing. The upper level exterior perimeter walls consists of a double wythe unreinforced brick masonry that extends up to approximately one foot above the roof sheathing on three sides. The roof framing consists of 2x12 rafters with lx6 shiplap boards and 1/2" plywood sheeting under the rolled asphalt roofing material. The roof slopes downward from the buildings front side (North) down to the back side (South). The north and south unreinforced masonry walls are non-load bearing which do not support tributary roof loading. It appears the north wall experienced out of plane forces that caused damage to the brick assembly. The damage could have occurred during the magnitude 6.8 Nisqually earthquake in 2001. The damage to the north wall is localized to areas where the ceiling and roof diaphragm(s) intersect with the front brick wall approximately nine feet above the second-floor level and above the second- floor window lintels.
