Stone is aging and crumbling, this catches debris
Also helps keep pigeons off the stonework. Bird poop is corrosive.
Yes, it's on Smithfield - Smithfield United Church of Christ

This would have been simpler if they just built a smaller church under the main church to catch falling debris.

Didn't that bridge under a bridge had a diaper on it too, like this church
Aggravating_Foot_528 t1_jat4oco wrote
The upper bridge had a diaper. Yes. That was solution #1 that didn't work.

Classic Pittsburgh fix. Should we maybe refurbish this crumbling thing? Nah just put a net around it to catch the falling concrete

That takes money and time believe it or not, as much as I do hope that's not the "permanent" solution.

It's a modesty veil. A little too close to Weiner World. Doesn't want to draw the wrong kind of attention.

Its a rain coat for the building. They will take it off when the sun comes out.

It’s the building equivalent of lingerie, it’s looking to get busy with that skyscraper next door.

Maybe stuffs falling off it, that's how we catch shit like this. Works on Bridges too. /s

They are probably repointing the brick which means they pull out what’s left of the old sand and lime mix between the bricks and press in a new mortar mix. It’s a slow and tedious skilled but messy job. Now that I’m living in Washington DC, all our historic houses 100 years old are needing this done. You don’t fill with cement or your bricks may crack from the freeze thaw with nowhere for the moisture to go, called spalling.

I didn't even suspect anything other than the clean stone on the bottom. I thought the whole church was just dirty lol.

It's cold. But also wants to be showy.
Or a thin condom. So it's still protected but can still get all the feels.
