For Sonrie: Gray & green glaze bricks

Hey Sonrie:

I found this photo in my files. It's from 39 Connecticut here in TGS between Roger and Gustine. I recommend a stroll along this block, the brickwork is fabulous.

The photo serves to illustrate the use of face brick.
Called face brick because these ornate bricks faced the street and regular red brick was used on the sides and back of the buildings.

Click to enlarge, these are killer gray bricks.
