Bob Anderson's new home.

The old home, Bob was living in, must really be old. I never saw brick work the high at the roof line. They probably did it to have a ceiling in the attic.
They referred to that brick, in Milwaukee as "Cream City" brick. Still a lot of it around!

It was build around 1880-90 I believe. Walls are a full four bricks thick with no insulation.

I've heard it referred to as 'pink' brick around here. Reclaimed old brick sells for a quite bit.
