Brick 8:




Brick 8:
This is another side of the Powerhouse Museum and the bricks here a different from the previous one. Here the bricks have the Strecher bond with raked joints. There are some soldier courses on top of the wall. It has the same dark brown coloured bricks as the previous one but it also has two rows of bricks in reddish brown for decorating the wall. Again I think the bricks here are quite old and even dirtier. Moreover, the filling of mortar is not so well here since some of the white mortar is very visible while some are not. The surface is pretty smooth. The bricks here should be structural since it is just a short wall surrounding the museum.
