Old Brick Building

Every time I go down to Spaghetti Warehouse downtown San Antonio, I always admire the old brick buildings around the train tracks with all the old painted signs and stuff.

Having been a bricklayer, I have a special appreciation for masonry, and the magnitude of work and effort that went into some of these all-brick buildings.  Many of the older ones are multiple layers of brick thick because the brick was used for structural purposes, not just a aesthetic facade.


Finally had the presence of mind to get a shot of this one last night when we went.
