Claim:
A waterproof structure of a building, comprising: at least two face members each having an end edge portion, the at least two face members disposed on an exterior of the building so that the end edge portions are opposed to each other; a sealing member disposed between the end edge portions; and a joint covering member that is elastically deformable and disposed on an exterior side of the end edge portions; and an anchor clip extending along the end edge portions; wherein the end edge portions are folded to protrude exteriorly and have constrained portions for narrowing a gap therebetween; wherein the sealing member is disposed between the end edge portions to close the gap between the end edge portions; wherein the joint covering member comprises a covering portion and a constricted portion, wherein the covering portion is configured to cover and press the sealing member from an exterior side toward the end edge portions, wherein the constricted portion comprises an upper portion, a lower portion and a folding portion; wherein the lower portion extends downwardly from a lower edge of the upper portion in a folded manner to extend toward an exterior of the joint covering member, wherein the folding portion is between the upper portion and the lower portion and configured to directly contact the constrained portions to exert an elastic force between the constrained portions to press the end edge portions against the anchor clip, wherein the anchor clip is inserted into the gap being engaged with the end edge portions to be pressed and fitted on a backing member that is disposed on a back side of the face member.
