Small Brick Structure One

Entrance to Below Grade Parking, Adelaide & Brant street, Toronto.

As an excercise I studied several small brick structures while I was living in Toronto. Various aspects were observed (measured, documented, researched) for each structure, then formatted into a 9"x17" editioned silkscreen.

Brick Rowhouses - Halifax, Canada - circa 1910

Halifax has a significant history of wood frame and shingle residential buildings where 98% of houses are wood (a typical example can be seen on the right in first photo). This small group of brick rowhouses are an anomaly in the city, but they are completed in the same style as the surrounding houses of the period, demonstrating the versatility of brick masonry.

As a group the brick houses appear to be almost identical, but upon closer view each has particular details that make it unique and reveal a rich layer of craftsmanship in the architecture and brickwork.
