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.

St Louis is full of them. I've never seen so many bricks in my life ...
close your eyes at night and you see bricks on the backs of your eyelids.
