Over time, not sure how long exactly...Acid rain discolours the building material, corrodes the surface making pits that invite more acid rain to deposit and eat away at the stone, brick, cement, marble...eventually making it crumbly and weaken the exposed areas.
I've seen the Acropolis in Athens and had to use my imagination to 'clean' up the structures to see the beauty of it.
It's so sad that buildings that have survived a millennium or more might crumble because of a 'few' decades of pollution.
Hope scientists will find solutions very soon.
Acid Rain eats Buildings.

chemicals present in acid rain react with the building material and weaken the whole structure. you might have heard about the taj mahal, which is made of marble. acid rain's chemical reaction with the marble has weakened the whole structure.

acid rain errodes such building materials such as limestone and weaken its structure.
