Entryway Construction - Part 3

PC, PR, & Curtis opened up the doorway last weekend.

Look at that! A doorway!


I'm still fascinated with the brick work from more than a century ago.
Here's the cross section of the cut in the wall:

If you look closely, you can see wooden wedges in some of these brick courses (more on this later...).

This close-up shows how I painted each face of this odd corner a different color:



My battery is charged and I will take more pictures today.
