Many of the homes in CV are made with what is called "iron spot" brick; the
bits of iron found in the clay spotted the surface when it was fired. "Roman
bricks" are longer and more slender or thinner than their typical
counterparts. "Pressed brick" have a very sharp edge (no chips on the corners) and
were typically used for the front facade, as they were more expensive than the
cheaper, molded bricks.
Does that help?
