Manor House, East Barsham, England
THE CHARM and distinction of English country
houses has drawn many an architect to the British Isles for artistic motives. Their stateliness, their substantiality, their splendid details, the beauty and mellowness of their brick walls, arouse universal admiration.
The natural beauty and adaptability of brick has, in the past decade, been supplemented by American face brick manufacturers with variety of color tones and
textures. Through mixtures of clays and shales, by the invention of new devices for cutting the brick, and by new methods of setting and firing the kilns, the artistic possibilities of face brick are being constantly extended.
Any member of this association is at all times ready to discuss the architect’s face brick problems with him; and to co-operate with him to the fullest extent.
