Arched Windows

The brick borders around the outer arches look pretty difficult to make.

All through these structures are examples of beautiful craftsmanship--they had to do it mostly by hand!!!!

AND PEOPLE WANT TO DESTROY THIS! THE SAME PEOPLE WOULD DESTROY A REUBENS PAINTING, A MICHELANGELO STATUE, OR ANYTHING ELSE THEY THINK IS'NT USEFUL. AND THEY WOULD STILL SLEEP GOOD. GOOD LUCK OLD MAIN! I AM SURE GLAD YOU STUCK AROUND FOR THE LAST FEW OF US TO SEE.

Yes , a difficult and beautiful detail, i love this shot.
If you look to the left of the scroll under the window sill you can see a long ago masons mistake, a stack bond in the brickwork, he put a half - brick in the corse near the sill to correct the error.
