Roman brick is my favorite

Not only that, but this building has my favorite kind of brick on it. What? You mean not everyone has a “favorite brick”? That’s very hard to believe. But I bet by now you are wondering what my favorite is, aren’t you? It’s Roman brick, with is long and skinny compared to standard brick. (Here’s a handy chart.) The darker brick on this building is Roman brick; you can see it better if you click to enlarge the photo.
