Taking pressure off
When the site of the former Kresge building on South Main Street was filled with dirt, it was putting pressure on the basement wall of the adjoining Mount Vernon Nazarene University’s Buchwald Center. A 9-foot deep wall was constructed, back filled with gravel and topped a concrete pad to take pressure off the wall. Workmen completed the project Friday. (Virgil Shipley)
