    They gradually dissolve.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The acids in acid rain react with the calcium carbonate.

    For example,

    CaCO₃ + 2HNO₃ ⟶ Ca (NO₃) ₂ + H₂O + CO₂

    The soluble calcium salts wash away.

    The surfaces of the buildings become eroded and carved details gradually disappear.
