Pink Mortar

Mortar is colored by adding pigment to the mix. The finer pigment particles become a part of the mortar matrix as the mortar is mixed with water. The pigments do not dye the material but disperse and surround the material in the mortar once it's mixed.

Two blue flecks.

Whoops

Drives me batshit.
Two things are so wrong: the brick used to fill a window is an interior brick. It's soft and eventually it will crumble. The brick wasn't rebedded.

Gone: Church of the Magdalen Teen Town

Church of the Magdalen CYC building which hosted Teen Town in the 60s.
I took this photo shortly before the building was razed.
Google street view shows it standing and then an emptry lot. See it before the images are updated on google by landing on Sutherland and KHW then navigate east.
