The city was cited everywhere as of straight streets and red brick houses with green 'window shutters and white steps. Brickmaking was mainly carried on, a hundred years ago, in the southern part of the county of Philadelphia, known as "The Neck," famous for the extent and excellence of its clay banks, out of which came the fine pressed bricks for the fronts of houses, the stretchers for the side walls and the commons for the inside plastered walls. The durability of the .bricks is still in evidence. In the British Museum may be seen the bricks of Nineveh and Babylon. Travelers will recall the bricks in the Baths of Caracalla, at Rome, laid in the early part of the third century, A. D., which have stood the effects of time better than has the stone of the Coliseum or the marble of the Forum, added in the days of Trajan, though the former have been written of as only sun-dried, not baked or burned. Good old bricks they were, that our fathers made to help our city grow with little expense for building material, to give homes to our unwealthy first beginners, and to prepare for the more prosperous days to which we have grown and in which we are still growing.
