This paper presents a vulnerability assessment of an historical masonry building representative of early 20th-century construction. The structure consists of load-bearing masonry walls with timber floors and lacks seismic detailing. The methodology included visual inspection, typological classification and simplified control analysis. Observed damage includes masonry cracking, mortar degradation, timber floor deflections and local foundation settlements. The assessment indicates insufficient global structural integrity and pronounced vulnerability typical of historical unreinforced masonry buildings. The results support decision-making regarding strengthening or demolition of severely degraded masonry structures.
