To build up vertically, as a wall, and distinguished from extending such a wall or other structure horizontally. Thus a building law may limit the height to which side walls may be carried up in advance of and independently of the front wall; and a contract may specify that the whole wall shall be carried up of a uniform thickness. (Sturgis, 1900)
