More Building Notation

I walked by the building I wrote about earlier, on Lincoln Road.  This time I was able to get a better view of it and had not realized there are additional markings on the façade that went unnoticed before.  I had no idea what the “RO” appearing both above and below the condemned symbol means.  If anyone knows, please enlighten me.

Several nice people have written to inform me this means “Roof Open.”  Thanks everyone.

    It means “roof open”. The Fire dept. notes that after they have been there fro a fire or service call. It’s to let other responding fire units know the status/condition of the building for their safety.
