How long do brick homes last?

Well let me rephrase the question: "How long does brick last"? There
is a brick house I'm interested in that was made in the mid-1800s. I
was told years ago that brick had a lifespan of about 150 years before
it starts to crumble. Does this sound right? Should brick homes that
old be avoided?
