Mike Lamb Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 This 90 year old multi-unit building has a parapet wall that wanders into the roof for no apparent reason. Any ideas? Click to Enlarge 56.54 KB Click to Enlarge 50.51 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Fire wall separation. Odd shape, but the reasoning could probably be determined by the layout below. All those old demising walls meandering up through the roofs of apartments were fire separations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Odd. I have seen the fire separation run from the front all the way to the back of multi-units. This is only above the front stairwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
