Well, it's nice to know that real brick houses exist in the US, although I
must admit that I never saw one. There is a lot of construction around here,
but it's always wood-wood-wood, unless it's a high-rise or an office
building  :-). They put on this brick-face, as you call it, and it looks
really nice too, but the house is still wooden inside. I thought no one even
knows here how to build a house out of brick alone, LOL!


zanooda, who had to look up "stucco"... :-).

Well, brick is always over another structure, you can't build a house out of
brick. My grandparents house, which is over 100 years old, is brick, but
there's 12" cinderblock actually forming the structure. Red brick is really,
always cosmetic, whether it be 1" brick face or full brick. All brick houses
are either cinderblock or wood frame.
