How’s this for an amazing transformation? The new owners of this Wicker Park single family home opted to replace their aging, historically inappropriate vinyl siding with double-dipped McNear “Limehouse” thin brick. Believe it or not, there’s a red brick under those two coats of limewash!
Initially, these easy-going homeowners sought out a pure white brick, but ended up using this rustic alternative instead. Notes of the red brick subtly peek through the lime, giving the residence an old world flavor. These bricks were attached using metal thin brick panels, and will be sealed soon to protect the wash and allow for easy maintenance. Contrary to popular belief, siding is actually more expensive to take care of over time than masonry!
