Building Inspection Photos
Below are photos of existing conditions that need repair.
View taken from the attic of the broken "keys" (white area) which hold the plaster ceiling in
place. When the keys break, the weight of the plaster causes the ceiling to fail.
Sections of damaged ceiling tiles.
Close up view taken from inside the church of the plaster celing collapse which caused
the acoustical ceiling tiles to fall.

The wood foor is damaged in many areas.
