A Brick Garden Wall
A BRICK GARDEN WALL Brick walls are familiar enough, but many variations can be introduced into them. Instead of the common type of stretcher bond, English, Flemish diaper, and other more elaborate bondings can be used, and even further ornamented by the use of brick of different colors, thus picking out a pattern on the surface. A certain added interest in texture may also be obtained by allowing a header to project from the wall surface here and there. But this sort of thing can easily be carried too far, when it results' in walls that appear to have been built by a child or a madman. In fact, great care must be used in working with wall textures. Mixtures of stone and brick are to be avoided, and too much texture is worse than not enough. Never forget that a wall is a structural element, not a place to provide free rein for your predilections for the fanciful.
