Note ID: | JL582 | Weather Conditions: | Sunny, mid-70's | Report Author: | Joseph D. Lahendro | Report Date: | 5/7/1999 | Location: | Mansion - Basement - Security Office (E) / Executive Protection Unit (R) | Work Type: | Excavation | Notes: | Video and digital photos of northwest corner where underpinning excavation has revealed the original foundation walls at this corner extend lower than that found elsewhere. They extend at least 1'-4" lower, and, at the north wall, the bottom couple of brick courses step out into the space at least one brick wythe, which has not been seen on any other foundation wall so far. A couple of theories for this difference include: it occurs at the corners for added stability, or the lower spread wall is due to softer earh in this area. |
