A general wide angle view of the northwest corner. Notice that the core blocks are identical to each other.

A close in view of the northwest corner showing the core blocks and the casing in detail. Notice how the casing blocks are inclined inward and how they are anchored to the core blocks. The core blocks themselves are somewhat irregular with a significant space between them. It would appear that the casing was installed from the bottom up.
