Hello, neighbors, I'm forwarding this message from Dana who is helping our new neighbor Andy Gorode (email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) look for some iron-spot bricks for a project he's doing.
Incidentally, a Google search turned up the book "The Baltimore Rowhouse" by Mary Ellen Hayward, Charles Belfoure which explains that iron-spot brick is particular to Baltimore. They are made from high iron content clay from Western PA and are tougher than ordinary red bricks. --Emil --- Good afternoon everyone. One of our new neighbors, Andy Gorode, is in the process of restoring his Guilford Avenue home to its original configuration. He is ready to eliminate the second front door (the home was divided into two apartments with separate entries) and is in search of bricks to match the front façade. Andy believes the bricks he is searching for are “Roman Style, iron-spot bricks. They are long and narrow with specks of iron embedded in the brick”. Any leads would be appreciated. Contact Andy directly at the email address above. And, please copy me so that I can continue to add to the CVCA’s growing treasure trove of contractors and other good things for our very old homes! Thanks.
