Abstract
Abstract A reusable building form structure defined by opposed, rigid, preformed, self-supporting form members, and a method of utilizing the same with previously erected building wall panels, to produce a corner column defined by settable construction material introduced into the space delimited by the wall panels and the corner form structure. Improved alignment means are provided on adjacent form members to insure proper interengagement of abutting form members vertically arranged endto-end to permit formation of corner columns of varying heights.
