What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Norwalk
Tract houses here were put up mainly in the 1950s, and half are older than about 1957. Brick and mortar that age often look fine outside. The value of the footage is showing the inside, where a flue can be worn while the face still looks tidy. Low clouds visit in May and June, and frost is uncommon, so moisture does more than cold ever will. People here felt Whittier Narrows and La Habra alike, so the report treats any fresh line in the mortar as something to log.
