What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Temple City
Rebuilds have changed some blocks here, with large modern homes and gas fireplaces right beside older houses still using brick. The report confirms which one applies, since an owner of a rebuild will need clearances noted, not mortar joints. Whittier Narrows, in 1987, started very near here and hit older brick hard. After that, summer heat and cool nights keep the masonry working, and those failed spots often show up as leaks once winter rain begins.
