Is there a more cherished material in the history of the American Northeast/Canadian East construction than red brick? It's classic. I would never compare Ottawa's current day charcoal brick addiction to red brick, which has never actually gone out of style. The charcoal brick is surely a fad like so many others that have come and gone over the years.
