INDUSTRIAL BUILDING MID TOWN

I don't want to believe that was the original design. Bricked up arched windows?
I simply must ask Dave Lewis 'sup with this...

Dave responds:
Prolly not windows, since they would be almost in the parapet wall. More likely a design element that reduces the weight of the wall that hangs beyond the part of the wall that's supported all the way down. It reduces the weight on the lintel over the openings. It looks like a column was added (new brick) somewhere along the way.
