It is the purpose in issuing this brochure to give simply a few suggestions of what may be accomplished by the use of plain and moulded brick. Here and there some of the parts such as consoles, pier caps, and carved portions, are of a necessity made either of terra-cotta or stone; but as this is a perfectly legitimate combination they are here used.

Illustration from The story of the house: Being some suggestions in brickwork from the catalogue of O. W. Ketcham

The brick forms shown in Part Two are only suggestive of the various shapes in use, as the requirements of architectural design develop an unlimited number of forms. The facilities are such that any desired shape or size may be made.
