John Kogel Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 This 1940's house had some interesting interior design features. Does anyone recognize these colored bricks? I've not seen them before that I recall. Click to Enlarge 51.8 KB Click to Enlarge 38.5 KB Old Gyproc Click to Enlarge 51.65 KB
Rob Amaral Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 you sure it's not concrete-brick?? Can't tell ..
John Kogel Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Posted March 10, 2014 They are a thick porous brick, yes they could be concrete. I found another example of those same bricks. These are in the more natural setting, faded a bit by the weather. Maybe I just never noticed them before. Click to Enlarge 57.55 KB
kurt Posted March 16, 2014 Report Posted March 16, 2014 I see those on 40's and early 50's houses around Chicago. I think they're cast concrete with a little color, almost like a sandstone texture.
Chad Fabry Posted March 16, 2014 Report Posted March 16, 2014 Just after WWII, many contractors/ developers had their own casting equipment. We have entire neighborhoods around here with funky facades and cool interiors that were the product of the builder's imagination.
