Drunk Brick or Hollywood Bond | Unusual Design | ST LOUIS STYLE

Drunk Brick or the Hollywood Bond do not follow the traditional rules of masonry. This type of bond is an artistic rendering of brick courses designed to make the construction appear as very rustic and thrown together, as they do not follow any specific pattern. One could say that it has the look of a fairytale cottage.

Have you ever noticed this style used in homes around the Clayton area?

The home featured above is located at 7575 Oxford Drive, and is listed by Halterman & Stix of Dielmann Sotheby’s.

Another example on Davis Place.

    There is also a “crazy brick” house that we admire in my neighborhood, at Tholozan and Macklind. I’ve always wondered if any of this unusual brick pattern is continued on the inside, like on a fireplace or exposed walls.

      I live by that house. What a master of bricklaying it must’ve taken to pull that off!
