Earthquake
August 23, 2011
Damage Alert!
The buttresses that ran along the north and south naive generally sustained less damage than the freestanding flying buttresses of the east end, as the lower portions of these buttresses are "engaged" in the lower part of the naive exterior walls.
Repair of the nave buttresses is the next phase we will undertake. Similar to the flying buttresses, stones will be dismantled, drilled, "pinned" and damaged stones will be repaired and patched.
