I would like to see more buildings trying to mimic the characteristic S. Ontario brick - either red or yellow. There are some new examples of it, but it never quite looks right. Possibly the mortar they use? One of my favourite corners in Southern Ontario is the corner in Clinton, ON bookended by the library and town hall, both with excellent examples of each type of brick.
Does anyone know why those particular bricks are so prevalent? I imagine they are probably all sources from two brickworks, or perhaps most brick in Ontario comes from two geological formations?
