The invention involves a sheathing-retention device for supporting sheathing against a surface. The sheathing-retention device has a rigid sheathing-engagement portion having an outer surface and an inner surface; and has a tie-engagement portion located with respect to the inner surface. In this way, an end of a wall-tie extending out from the surface (e.g., of a wall) may be received and engaged by the tie-engagement portion while at the same time, the sheathing-engagement portion is in contact with the sheathing, holding the sheathing against the surface (e.g., of the wall). It is preferred that the sheathing-engagement portion is substantially plate-like. Another aspect of this invention is a method for affixing a panel to a masonry wall having a surface and a wall-tie protruding from the surface. The method includes the steps of: (a) pushing the panel toward the surface, thereby causing the wall-tie to penetrate the panel; (b) providing a sheathing-retention device having a tie-engagement portion and a panel-retention portion; and (c) urging the tie-engagement portion into engagement with and along the wall-tie toward the surface, thereby affixing the panel to the wall.
