It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade since we completed this glamorous single-family residence in Old Town! Working with the architects at Booth Hansen, we supplied a special “Black Select” brick from Morin. Although this handsome, waterstruck brick often contains subtle notes of red, the batch we provided to this project was specifically culled of any warm tones for an ultra-dark, black/brown finish.
Working with the factory, we also had special shapes custom made for the “Jack Arches” above the windows. Note the limestone window surrounds as well, resulting in a classic structure that fits perfectly with the ornamental and detailed architecture of the surrounding historic homes.
