It's an old style of construction referred to as "double-brick." Both the internal and external walls are brick, usually with a small void in between. In this case nothing else was used to reinforce the construction so when the mortar deteriorated, the wall came down.

Just watching the news. It burnt down.

Yup, pretty much to the ground. It's just a shell of barely able to stay upright brick walls now.

I don't believe in them. A phone is a phone, not a Swiss Army Knife. Couldn't have gotten anything worth keeping, anyway. The lights I was backlit in the Library building and those lights can't be turned off. If they could have been, I could have gotten a spectacular shot of two firemen, right outside the window, with the hose running and the fire right behind them.

... if I'd had a camera.

... if I could control the lighting.

... but I didn't and couldn't.
