kurt Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Posted April 19, 2016 Evanston. NE by the lake. And arguments....yes. There was arguing, not me, I just set the stage. Facts upset people today.

kurt Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Posted April 20, 2016 It's a slate roof, which needs some work, but nothing remarkable. It was about the brick and the timber. It's sort of wattle and daub with brick infill. Really crappy idea. I think Fabry is closest on the brick. Abstract brick expressionism sounds historical; I'll put it in the report and make people ask if it's actually a thing.
Rob Amaral Posted April 21, 2016 Report Posted April 21, 2016 It's indeed a 'thing' (pattern) that I see around here once in a while folks... I just would call it a rusticated type pattern.. Newton MA is loaded with these houses.. Slate roofs, copper, stucco, brick, neglected lintels, termites, the steel windows that are 'heat-suckers'.. asbestos-insulation on old steam or gravity heat pipes, under-sized 'new' boilers, buried oil tanks..etc.. My biggest concern when I see these pop up is underground oil tanks..
