ARTISTIC BRICK IN VOGUE
Change in style Is Now Being Used
by the Architects In Hand
some Residences.

A new era OF artistic brick work has ar
rived at Omaha, Only within the past year
or two has the attention of owners and
architects been directed TO the artistic pos
sibilitles In connection with brick construc-
ton II was not long ago that no Omaha
bricklayer had laid trowel to any but
smooth dry pressed brick of red or gray or
buff color.
The tendency to make brick work look
like painted wall prevailed until recently.
Narrow mortar joints Of same color as the
brick emphasized this effect. BY some it
has been defended under the term mass
effect" One Of the best posted authorities
on brick effects is quoted as saying: when
brick work looks like brick work it is beau
tiful IL the brick used has the elements of
beauty"
1t is clearly apparent that Omaha archi-
tects have placed themselves in the front
rank of progressive designers in brick by
giving full value to the brick as an artistic
building material. Evidences of this fact
are numerous The beautiful residence Of
S. B. Doyle at Thirty-eighth and Californ' a
streets from plans by Architect Thos, r.
Klmball, is a type requiring the particular
effect produced by the rich dark brown
tapestry tone against a generous outline OF
white stone trimming
The new residence of Mr. Charles Kirsch-
braun, at Thirty-eighth and Farnam, from
plans of Architect F. A. Henninger, is a
model OF English architecture embracing
both brick and stucco. The brick is a
small spotted payer laid up with a wide,
raked out dark mortar joint in such a way
as to give the effect of solidity and texture
to the wall. Many other residences and
buildings in Omaha are built of the same
| face brick and become very popular.
| Architects Fisher and Lawrie produced a
dignified characterize brick effect in thu
new residence for Mrs. w. B. Willard a
Thirty-ninth and Dodge streets. This is z
colonial design to the last letter and thu
brick used produces a rich antique
tone, and being vitrified. will retain IL
present beauty permanently.
In the residence of f. f. Howe a

Is variable chocolate, ranging from ligh

came brick houses then stone
houses and while three of these
E4IN1YN materials are stnl popular in
49, the construction of homes, we
are living today in what seems destined
to be the cement are both in the building
Of homes and buildings.
In the construction Of brick. stone and
cement houses two methods are used One
is to make the walls solid Of the materials
to be seen on the outside; the other is to
build the walls OF frame construction with
a veneer Of the more durable material,
leaving an air space between the masonry
wall and the frame wall While the latter
material is a little cheaper it is not near
so permanent as a solid masonry wall.
The most practical way in which to
build a house with a cement exterior is to
first build the wall of either brick or con-
crete blocks leaving the outside joints
scraped out deep to form a clench for the
cement surface put on the outside. The
cement should be put on In two coats, the
first coat a scratch coat at least 11s-inch
thick and made rough on its surface be-
fore drying. The finish coat can be either
a comparatively smooth carpet float fin
ish, light dash coat or a very course
dash. This dash should be applied by a
mason Of experience in this class of work,
since It requires a man who can work with
both his head as we'll as his hands to do
a neat and satisfactory job. 1t requires a
man with a good eye to get the dash
evenly distributed so that it will not be
heavy in one place and too thin in an
other
One unique method Of surfacing the ce-
ment is to put on a smooth coat and while
wet make impressions over it's entire sur
face with a coarse sponge Before the
first coat is put on the masonry wall, and
! between the first and second coat the
| walls should be we'll wet with water from
a hose, IL possible, in order to be sure that
the material adheres perfectly.
