Description
Image shows exterior of Coplon's Store , a women's clothing store in downtown Rocky Mount . The roof and the walls of the building have had a catastrophic failure . In this photo , one can see the exposed wall studs with the ghost marks of the old plaster lathing on them. The king studs have been sistered with new studs to give them more load support . Inside the building , wooden timbers are being used to keep the ceiling supported . An old display case still sits in the building . At the far right a large arch window can be seen . Note the stone or brick piers under the floor to give the building support .
