Casa Vicens is a building that was built for the Barcelona bricklayer and tiler, Manuel Vicens. The author of the design is Antoni Gaudi, this house is one of his first works and a manifestation of the artist's style. It is one of eight buildings located in Barcelona and included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The building was built in a traditional Catalan style, but you can see some references to Moorish architecture. The outer walls are covered with ocher-colored stone, bricks and ceramic colored tiles.

207 Reynolds Street (1882): James Freestone, a bricklayer, purchased the property in 1877 and built the existing house which he rented out. In 1924 the Freestones sold the property to Frederick McCallum, a local banker. The McCallums lived in the house until 1977.
L-shaped Ontario farmhouse with Victorian elements. Notable features include buff coloured quoins, round headed windows, a bracketed bay and decorative bargeboard.
Erddig was built by a master-bricklayer, so obviously there is quite a lot of brickwork present. Here the brick is from walls in the gardens that provide shelter for many beautiful flowers.
At Tangen in Kristiansand, a new district with 43,000 m2 of housing and 33,000 m2 of business / school is under development. The area is close to the center, surrounded by water, with Otra to the east and the sea to the south and west.
The stench from the construction pit on Tangen stings in the nose. The half-rotten, penetrating smell is a testimony to the sins of the past.
- "We pull it on Tangen", was the tone of the review in my childhood. Should one get rid of something, it was just a matter of pulling it on Tangen, says Harald Sødal (born 1938).
Many have slipped out after dark and thrown away old bicycles and refrigerators and things that were no longer usable. This is how the landfill grew imperceptibly on Tangen from year to year.
The seaweed quickly became the industrial area of Kristiansand, and the filling started with the brickworks operation from 1783. The plant was built on a bulwark partly on land, partly on the skerries outside, which was so shallow that the hired workers from Flensburg in Germany could wade over. The area between the skerries and land was eventually filled with brick and sand.
Tangen housed many businesses, such as windmills and pottery, and has always been an area for military activities. In 1657, a block house with ten cannons was built, hence the name Blokkhusgata, and shipbuilding continued at "Kongens Værft" in the extension of Østre Strandgate. In more modern times, Sørlandet's first seaport with seaplanes was established on the marine site, where Aquarama is located today.
In 1855 came the biggest polluter of them all, the gas plant, which has left quantities of heavy metals in the ground where the KEV building was erected after the gas power plant was shut down in 1957.
Tangen was never intended as a residential area, even though it became the residence of the workers at the various workplaces. In the census from 1801, there were seven residential houses on Tangen, which accommodated a total of 60 people; potters, stonemasons, sawmills, sailors and bricklayers with wives, children, lodgers and servants. As a curiosity, we can mention that of the nine married women on Tangen in 1801, five were older than their husbands, two of them were 11 years older.
The name Lortetangen arose partly as a result of Kvadraturen literally swimming in feces. The "night man" was called the dot timber, the one who emptied the city's dowries and drove the trickling, smelly contents to piers along the sea by horse and leaky cart. One of the piers was on Tangen, where today's Tangen upper secondary school is located. From the pier, the urine was drained into the river, while the solid contents were left behind and sold as fertilizer to farmers on Tveit, who collected it in open shacks.

It was a cold December afternoon, still with trace’s of snow lying trackside.
This was also the 3rd day of the latest Rail strike, meaning their wasn’t as many trains around at this normally very busy location.

The exterior of the Dr. Chau Chak Wing Building has two different but related personalities; an east-facing, undulating brick facade acknowledging Sydney’s sandstone heritage and a western facade of angular glass shards reflecting its contemporary surrounds. Here we see detail from the brick facade.
Up close, the plastic, fluid quality of the building creates an encounter and connection that are wholly physical. Its extraordinarily complex construction included five custom-made brick types manufactured specifically for the building by Bowral Bricks and laid with great skill by master bricklayer Peter Favetti. The undulations of the brick facade and the abundance of idiosyncratic visual and tactile detail make “being there” a highly engaging and personal experience.
If you're ever in Sydney, be sure not to miss this iconic building.
Theologians often invoke metaphors of building to describe their work: the scholar as a grand architect, a wise foreman, an honest bricklayer. But for Williams, theology is less like a construction site than like a friendship. Not a monument to be built but something collectively ventured, explored, revised, negotiated, threatened by subtle conflicts and enlarged by subtle graces. It is a sort of intellectual ‘zigzag,’ to borrow an image from Sergius Bulgakov; a ‘shaky, fluctuating path’ towards truthful speech. 7 Theology then is not a solitary endeavour; personal relationships of loving opposition are the necessary environment for the zigzag of Christian imagination.

Always loved coffee with a cappuccino always being my first choice (double shot) (Yes !! I know its not exactly a big bricklayers drink) but lately I've succumb to espresso's, sod the caffeine intake just chill out ;-))))
The farmer that owned this crumbling farm near Buda,IL. was also a bricklayer by trade.Several of the decaying buildings left show evidence of this-newer brick foundations and patchwork.Legend has it that when he was laying some brick to shore up the foundation on this barn,it collapsed,crushing him.At least that is what the Comcast guy working on the communication tower on the property was told....
Inside that barn I opened up an old cabinet and found it full of tan mice...that is definitely a first...
Massey’s Folly was built by a former rector of Farringdon Thomas Hackett Massey who was incumbent from 1857 to 1919 and during that time took it upon himself to rebuild both chancel and rectory and then to top it all, build on a site opposite the church.
Massey himself built the building, aided only by a carpenter, bricklayer and labourer. It must have been a labour of love, for it took him thirty years to complete and when finished in 1910, stood empty for fifteen years, its purpose uncertain.
Eventually life was breathed back into the building when it was used as the village school and hall.
The Folly is now in private hands.

Being a bricklayer I look at these historic structures in disbelief, no power tools just hand crafted stone & timber set & lifted into position with sweat, blood & determination, just amazing !
A bit out of my depth taking these shots, anyone can snap away away at street signs & drain pipes but this sort of work is where good photography skills take over, a live & learn lesson for me.
In the garden of Matīsa street 91 you can find this lovely sculpture 'Mason and chimney-sweep' by sculptors Ģirts Burvis and Kārlis Īle. It was unveiled on 26 April 2007 in the presence of Riga chimney-sweep Varis Vilcāns, President of the Latvian Brotherhood of Chimney Sweeps, (the model for the sweep) and the actor Kārlis Sebris (the model for the mason).
The Pokrovskaya Tower is located in the southwestern corner of the fortifications of the Okolny town of the Pskov Fortress, on the banks of the Velikaya River. Monument of history and culture of federal significance. The most powerful fortress tower of Pskov, one of the largest in Europe - the outer length in a circle of 90 m, five tiers. It was erected by the Pskov bricklayers at the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th centuries.
Покровская башня находится в юго-западном углу оборонительных сооружений Окольного города Псковской крепости, на берегу реки Великой. Памятник истории и культуры федерального значения.
Самая мощная крепостная башня Пскова, одна из крупнейших в Европе — наружная длина в окружности 90 м, пять ярусов. Возведена псковскими каменщиками в конце XV — начале XVI вв., неоднократно поновлялась в XVII в.
It has been updated but is the hole left by the bricklayers in 1904, from the Rose District in Broken Arrow.

187 Allan Street (1912): Arts and Crafts influences, 2 storey stucco with wide front porch, wood shingles in gables.
The facade of Teateret is adorned with a large wall relief created by the artist Henrik Finne. This artwork is a brick mosaic covering a total of 340 square meters and consists of over 150,000 bricks in various shades of brown, gray, and yellow. The design features a geometric pattern inspired by music and free form, and was executed in collaboration with bricklayers Gustav Henningsen and Erling Eriksen from Fevik.
At the time when the estate of Lipník was owned by the House of Bruntálský of Vrbno (i.e.16th century), the nobility used to leave their castles and had new mansion houses built in more accessible places. Hynek Bruntálský first considered building the new administrative centre of his domain. He bought up some suburban grounds in a close vicinity of Moravian Brethren´s Congragarion. As he died soon, its construction was realized by his son Jiří Bruntálský of Vrbno thereafter, in 1609.
Besides the castle in Lipník, the House of Bruntálský of Vrbno started significant rebuilding of the mansion houses in Bruntál and Branná at the turn of the 16th and 17th century. As these buildings share many formal features, it is likely to have been made by the same ring of Italian and Silesian craftsmen which were hired by the builders from Italian bricklayers and stonemasons domiciliated both in Lipník and at the ancestral buildings in Silesia. According to the traditional design can be judged that the castle was certainly designed by one of the Italian masonry masters, as evidenced by the type of vaults with lunettes decorated with characteristic ornamental stucco. The Italian descent of the mansion house in Lipník is evidenced by the construction of the castle stairs, tucked into the interior of the building. According to sources known until now, any of the Italian craftsmen can not be identified with the author of the Lipník mansion house. The title „Baumeister“ consistently used at the name of Pietro Valmandria therefore certainly also is not sufficient enough and we must be content with the fact that the authorship of the mansion house still remains open.
Further bulding activity of Jiří Bruntálský of Vrbno finished after his involvement in the insurrection of Czech & Moravian Estates when – after its defeat in the Battle of White Mountain in 1620 - he was arrested and died in the Spielberg dungeon. His wealth passed to cardinal Francis of Dietrichstein in 1622. The lordship authorities were transferred from Helfštýn Castle to the mansion house in 1626, the adjacent Moravian Brethrens´congregation was confiscated in 1622 was passed to the Piarist Order in 1634.
The Renaissance-style mansion house was built up as a two-storey building with two wings. Double staircase was placed next to the entrance and it was entered from a large hall with entrance to the courtyard. No later than at the end of the 17th century, the mansion house also got the second floor. The remnants of sgraffito decoration, even after reconstruction of the facade in 2003, were left on approval next to the entrance of the mansion house and St. Francis Seraphic´s Church.
Under the rule of the Lords of Dietrichstein who owned the mansion in the direct line until 1858, the mansion house maintained its Renaissance style appearance. A radical historizing Neo-classistic rebuild of the mansion house and adjacent outbuildings occurred only in the 60´s of the 19th century. The mansion house received realtively high quality Noe-classistic front facade. According to the historizing aestetic opinions also the two side wings were adapted.The rebuild was carried out by master-builder Joseph Zürk. Several plans from 1863 signed by him is preserved in the archives of the Lipník estate in Janovice.

The viaduct is the third largest in Wales and is now a Grade II listed building. It cost £25,000 to build (equivalent to £2.5 million in 2024).
It consists of 15 arches, each one 39 feet 6 inches wide, and is 770 ft. long with a maximum height of 115 ft. It was planned to be constructed entirely of limestone like the nearby Pontsarn Viaduct but a trade union strike by stonemasons in February 1866 caused the company to buy 800,000 bricks and use bricklayers to complete the 15 arches. It was completed on 29 October 1866, three years after the main line which linked it with Brecon. The last trains travelled over the viaduct in the mid 1960s and it subsequently fell into disrepair. It was refurbished by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council with assistance from a grant from the National Lottery. It has now become part of the Taff Trail, route 8 of the National Cycleway.
The Victoria Pub on Pages Walk was built in 1886. This pub in Bermondsey is recognized for its outstanding historic interior and was originally built for workers at the adjacent Bricklayer's Arms train depot (Ai overview)
2024-09-13, Day 7
Looking northwest along the braided channels of the Duke River, the lesser peaks that flank Mount Hoge rise into a gathering weather system, Kluane National Park, Yukon.
On the previous day, we crested Atlas Pass and followed the course of Atlas Creek toward its confluence with the Duke River. The ever-handy Parks Canada route description suggested that just before the confluence an obvious game trail would leave the creek bed on the right. After following this path for several hundred meters, we would ostensibly be presented with excellent campsites and easy walking along the riverbank.
I noticed the game trail leaving the creek more or less where we expected to find it, and it had even been marked with a small piece of flagging by some enterprising individual. Wanting to gauge the amount and temperature of the water flowing down the Duke, we proceeded to the confluence anyway to have a gander. Where the water of the creek mingled with the greater current of the Duke, the water was cold and the river was pinched in to a single channel that was deep and fast enough to make it clear that crossing several more shallow channels would be a necessity. It was also impossible to follow the riverbank upstream at this particular point due to a number of steep outcroppings and dense vegetation.
We retreated to the game trail, and after 400 meters or so the ground began to get suspiciously boggy, and the game trail was interrupted repeatedly with increasingly large pools of standing water. Believing this to be the route, and not worrying too greatly about damp feet, we forged onward by pushing through dense vegetation and wending around the pools. Optimism can be useful but ours soured after a time and morphed into downright pessimism once it became clear that the ever-widening pools were but the satellites of an incredible engineering effort put forth by the resident master beaver population. A dam appeared, constructed from beautifully selected, regularly-sized poles, laid neatly in rows and cemented with mud like the careful work of an artisan bricklayer. We were forced to negotiate a steep mossy bank, grasping at small trees to pull ourselves up toward higher ground. It was not long before another, similar dam appeared, tiered upstream from the first one, and then another and another.
Our forward progress utterly arrested, we paused amongst the trees to admire the handiwork of these evidently abundant and industrious rodents. The ponds were deep and impassable without flotation of some sort, though I am confident the local moose require no such accoutrements. Gazing toward the river and trying to determine the best course of action (retreat? climb up through the forest and hope to find a route?), two brightly colored backpacks bobbed just above the golden willows some 300 meters away, moving slowly upstream along the bank of the Duke. These were the first people we had seen in 5 days, and their presence suggested a retreat and then an effort to find a way to the riverbank would yield navigational dividends. We bid the beaver adieu and found a place to camp amongst the willows by the side of the river, some 200 meters downstream from our fellow travelers, electing to ensconce ourselves and respect their privacy.
On the morrow, we broke camp and paused to introduce ourselves to our impromptu neighbors as we made our way upstream to find a place to ford the Duke. A short, energetic, gray-haired fellow named Bruno did most of the talking, as his female traveling partner spoke little English and my French is, shall we say, poor. He was astounded to learn we had camped so close by and failed to come say hello and share a tale. He entreated us to drink a coffee by their fire, and he conveyed that they had traveled from their homes near the French Alps to Paris, then to Whitehorse, then had hitchhiked to Destruction Bay on the shore of Kluane Lake to begin their Yukon adventure. Evidently Bruno and his companion had been dating for some months and had not been together long before embarking into the wild. A bold move. Bruno lamented that one side-effect of these decisions was that he had become self-conscious about farting. And backpacking food does not set one up for success in this department.
Having just consumed a good deal of coffee, we declined Bruno’s offer for more and left the odd-couple to their ministrations. The map suggested the river broadened to a wide, braided channel some miles upstream, and we noticed a thickening mass of clouds drifting over the mountains from the southwest. Perhaps a storm would find us.

Don't know anything about the building but it shows off the bricklayers' skill. :-)
Take a close look at the brickwork and it's features.

Did the bricklayers have a bad day? Or is it supposed to be that way? Photo taken in Jacksonville, Oregon.
London Central LT853 is seen near Bricklayers Arms on route 21 towards Newington Green. from tomorrow, it will be rerouted at Old Street and extended to Holloway to replace part of the 271 that'll be fully withdrawn, meaning the 21 will no longer serve Newington Green.
Bulleid un-rebuilt 'Battle of Britain' Light Pacific No 34078 '222 Squadron' of Bricklayers Arms MPD (73B) emerges from Shakespeare Cliff and runs into Shakespeare Halt in summer 1959 working a Dover to London Bridge service. Around this time the halt was mainly used by railway staff, including the Shakespeare signalman, but residents of isolated dwellings nearby also used it. Three trains per day were scheduled to stop by request, but these never appeared in the public timetable. 34078 was transferred to Exmouth Junction shed in September 1963, withdrawn from service in September 1964 and cut up by Birds of Morriston during the December of that year.

It’s such a shame that these buildings . . . you see what happened in Europe, and I don’t understand it, is that Europe went through this several hundred years long period of time where beauty was worshiped in a profound way, and you see that manifested in the construction of these great cathedrals that took centuries to build. The bricklayer wasn’t just laying bricks. The bricklayer was building a cathedral to God—which is how our lives should be. Every little thing that we do should be imbued with that higher vision, which is possible if you have that higher vision.
