RAMSEY TOWN HALL, Ramsey, Minnesota <br />dal <br />There are also some metal brackets in the <br />facade; these were where electric lines and <br />some services were connected. <br />Figure 16 — Metal Brackets in Brick <br />Figure 17 — Metal Brackets in Brick <br />There are several sections of the primary <br />fagade where it looks like some repointing has <br />taken place, specifically under the window on <br />the right-hand side, where the mortar is a <br />different color, and to the top of the circular <br />window at the top of the structure. Figures 18, <br />19 and 20 show other areas where repointing <br />was done, including the chimney. The mortar <br />joints where the repointing was done are <br />much more prominent due to the following <br />characteristics: over -grinding during <br />repointing process damaged the brick around <br />the repointed areas, a different color of <br />mortar was used, possibly a different strength <br />of mortar was used, and the size of the mortar <br />joints are larger. The mortar is supposed to be <br />weaker than the brick so that it cracks before <br />the brick can. <br />Figure 18—Attempted Repointing <br />Figure 19—tit empted Repointing <br />Figure 20—Attempted Repointing <br />Ramsey Town Hall 6 <br />
