A construction crew worked to clean up collapsed scaffolding on Sept. 20, 2019, in the 300 block of East Martin Street in San Antonio. High winds from a storm caused the scaffolding to fall from the side of the AT&T building and land on St. Mark’s Episcopal Church property.Daniel Carde /Special Contributor
About 230 feet of scaffolding toppled onto St. Mark’s Episcopal Church’s downtown campus from a nearby building during a 2019 storm that brought 60 mph winds.
Piles of heavy metal scaffolding pierced the parish building’s roof in several places. The steel also crushed the chiller for the church’s heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system, causing a flood of water to pour down through four floors of the building. Offices, classrooms, rehearsal rooms and gathering space were all wrecked. Brickwork was damaged, as well.
