Of some buildings there is nothing left but a slender towering corner of brickwork.
Of others the end walls and a broken backed roof alone remains.
The most common feature of all this fearful destruction is the tearing away of a complete side or front of a building; something of which I have already mentioned. Look where you will and you are staring into the poor broken rooms of once sacred homes.
You can see the thickness of broken walls and depths of floor joists and you are strangely reminded of the sections of architectural designs.
