#runningbond

Edge grain Maple and Walnut cutting board. I have learned plenty of lessons in the process. It's not perfect but happy with my first. #edgegraincuttingboard #laboroflove #custommade #somethingnew #runningbond https://www.instagram.com/p/B9VkO3qhPsR/?igshid=13s7cowg0lr5a

I love that this #philadelphia #townhome has a pass through rather than a garage. So many #architectural features happening here: the #masonry course beneath the precast trim running across the second floor was laid in a #runningbond while the bricks above the trim are laid in an #englishcrossbond which means that for every five layers of #stretcher laid bricks, there is a layer of alternating stretchers and #header laid bricks. 🧱 The vertical oriented bricks in a slight arch over the driveway is called a #soldiercourse. The #ornamentation beneath the #corniceline (or the horizontal line where the roof and the bricks meet) are called #brackets. The window at the top floor, in the center is called a #baywindow and the detail on top of it is called a #pediment. // #historicplaces #thisplacematters #savingplaces @savingplaces #architecturalhistory #historicpreservation #historicarchitecture #philadelphiaarchitecture #phillyarchitecture #philadelphiapreservation #phillypreservation @presalliancephl (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuENQJcgXn5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ko5mbt29vbnh

Two points of interest for this facade: 1) Notice that the window is eight panels over twelve panes. Usually you will see the same amount over the same amount in a #sashwindow such as this. (Example would be eight-over-eight, twelve-over-twelve, and most commonly in #oldcity and #societyhill six-over-six.) 2) Notice the change in brick bonds. From the bottom, ever six rows are #runningbond and split by a row or Flemish bond until it transitions to #flemishbond completely. The incorporation of the black bricks highlights this change. The combination of these two points would lead me to hypothesize that there was an exterior update that impacted these features at some point in this building’s history. // #shutters #transom #transomwindow #paneleddoor #masonry #themoreyouknow #architecture #architecturalhistory #architectural #architecturaldetails #architecturehistory #historicplaces #architecturalpreservation #historic #historicdetails #preservation #historicpreservation #historicarchitecture #mastersofhistoricpreservation #societyhillarchitecture #philadelphiaarchitecture #historichomes #historicphiladelphia #historicphilly (at Society Hill, Philadelphia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn9ySW2hHzd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n5q4nsdciapp
