Redbrick is a new one to me. On the other hand if someone bought a brownstone I would assume they were moving to New York, not collecting overpriced rocks.

Color of the bricks varies with the places where the clay was taken from.I'm not sure if now they add color to imitate the old varieties, or if they are still natural variations. baksteen (Faldage: steenkeen = stone keen) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: AWAD: Redbrick BranShea #172841 01/24/08 03:47 PM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Jackie Carpal Tunnel Jackie Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky baksteen Hey--in your link, all the text is in Dutch! ;-) As to imported natural stone, call Ireland--they've got way more than they need.
