Many of the homes in CV are made with what is called "iron spot" brick; the bits of iron found in the clay spotted the surface when it was fired. "Roman bricks" are longer and more slender or thinner than their typical counterparts. "Pressed brick" have a very sharp edge (no chips on the corners) and were typically used for the front facade, as they were more expensive than the cheaper, molded bricks. Does that help? Paul K.
