bricks as Image. No.10~

St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Cnr Wellington St and Bondi Rd Bondi
Arches form the tops of windows with bricks which are extruded to create texture and lines.  Decorative features are also done in brick and adds interest to a otherwise plain and flat wall.
White raked mortar with smooth dark brown bricks laid in stretcher bond.
Interesting pattern and framing made by having soldier bricks along the top of doorways.  
Arches created with curved bricks and with insteps it draws the eyes to the stained windows.
