Subject: The masonry walls which form sally ports between row homes...The masonry is built to arch up to the shared masonry party wall above, right? I just can't see how the 2nd floor wood joists span across the sally port to support the masonry walls above. Someone is trying to tell me differently, and I am doubting myself. The sally port clear width is usually 24" - seems reasonable to be able to corbel the masonry above.
