Meguro City Hall, built 1966, has quake damage fixed with duct tape

Meguro-ku city hall is a listed building dating back over 50 years – meaning it can’t be knocked down and rebuilt. Friends of mine who work there told me how during the recent quake they thought the building was coming down. The stairwell now features some impressive cracks – cunningly fixed with duct tape.
