An architectural building block is formed of light transmitting, molded plastic material to resemble a common glass block or brick and comprises a pair of halves joined together along a seam to form a hollow block with the seam spaced intermediately between a pair of opposite planar outer side walls of the block. Each half has an inner surface and an outer surface comprising one of the outer side walls of the block integrally joined around its periphery to an inwardly directed peripheral edge wall having a plurality of planar wall segments and having a continuous free edge providing one joining edge of the seam. Integrally formed snap lock connectors are provided adjacent each corner of the block for interconnecting an adjacent block laid up in a wall structure and a flange structure is formed along each wall segment between the connectors providing a surface for backing up joint adhesive applied between adjacent wall segments of laid up blocks.

An architectural building block formed of light transmitting, molded material to resemble a common glass block, comprising: a plurality of hollow half members joined together along a seam to form a hollow block enclosure with said seam spaced intermediately between a pair of opposite outer side face

An architectural building block formed of light transmitting, molded material to resemble a common glass block, comprising: a plurality of hollow half members joined together along a seam to form a hollow block enclosure with said seam spaced intermediately between a pair of opposite outer side faces of said block, each half member having an inner surface and an outer surface comprising one outer side face of said block of polygonal shape integrally joined around its periphery to an inwardly directed continuous peripheral edge wall having a plurality of angularly intersecting wall segments normal to said outer side face and a continuous free edge providing one joining edge of said seam; flange means formed along at least one of said wall segments aligned to extend outwardly of said side face for at least partially filling a precise amount of space established between a pair of adjacent blocks when said blocks are positioned with respective wall segments thereof in spaced apart confronting relationship for forming a wall structure including said pair of blocks; and connector means including a pair of interlockable tongue and slot forming elements integrally formed and aligned on said flange means of said respective blocks for detachably securing said adjacent blocks together.
