Out of curiosity, do any of you know of a builder who's actually building
brick houses today? For the young'uns among you I'm talking of double
wall brick with *no* wooden frame involved.



How long ago was that????

I lived in three of them in my life. Built in 1898, 1948, 1950. All
are still in excellent condition. It was a very popular form of
construction when I lived in Philadelphia but it did give way to frame
and veneer. Mostly a cost and insulation issue.
