ABSTRACT:
A retaining wall building block comprises a face wall and two side walls extending rearwardly from the face wall from the opposite ends thereof with the face wall and two side walls being shaped and arranged such that the block has a generally C-shaped configuration as viewed from above. An ear projects outwardly from one of the side walls. A notch is provided in the other of the side walls for receiving the ear of a second building block of identical construction when the blocks are placed in side-by-side relation. The blocks may pivot relative to one another about a generally vertical axis such that a plurality of blocks of substantially identical construction may be selectively arranged in a variety of configurations ranging from a generally straight-line configuration, a generally convex configuration and a generally concave configuration.
