If I had to guess, I’d assume there was bricks once surrounding the cinderblock nightmare. You wouldn’t want a hollow brick pillar so I could see someone just shoving a cinderblock pieces in the middle as they worked their way up, never really expecting it to be seen on its own.
That isn’t the right way to make a pillar like this, but I’m sure this was a string of mistakes and at the end it was some poor bricklayer who had to figure it out with what he had on hand.
We say to ‘nuke it’.
So it’ll be like oh I got to nuke this pizza for a minute.
