A mortarless wall structure (10) comprising a plurality of preformed, stackable blocks (12, 112, 160, 312) with the blocks operatively connected to each other by a plurality of elongated, vertically oriented, support beams (16, 116, 270, 287). The blocks may include one or more channels (140, 142a, 142b, and 144) that are configured and arranged to intercept moisture traversing from the front surface (120) toward the rear face (122) of the block, and to direct the moisture in a predetermined direction that does not intersect the rear face. The wall (10) may be freestanding or operatively connected to a suitable support structure by one or more brackets (18, 19, 200, 230). When used in conjunction with a support structure, the wall may be provided with a sealing element (250) that prevents moisture and debris from being introduced between the wall and the support structure. |
