mjr6550 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 These photos are from a brick Gothic Revival house. I'm guessing mid-1800's. Click to Enlarge 68.68 KB Click to Enlarge 61.82 KB Click to Enlarge 74.97 KB Click to Enlarge 87.03 KB
Scottpat Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 Yep, that is old soft brick? Looks like they have repointed in some areas with a harder mortar mix and that intern can cause the bricks hard fired finish to spall off and exposing the soft interior and it is then a never ending deterioration of the brick.
kurt Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 That'd be my call too. Damage is almost always mortar related.
