Try to find a red brick building or house or even a brick chimney only. Justify it with a link or an address on Google Maps.

This should be fun as it is like playing detective to find red brick which there is very little in Miami. It can even be faux brick. Here is one red brick building to start off.

That is the Miami Today building. I work right across the street from it.

I know of homes in P. Pines that are brick. But obviously this is the Miami forum so doesn't count.

Edit: Just remembered my grandmother's home in Hialeah has brick on it.

^ Valicky have you ever taken a tour of that house? It was built in the New England/Cape Cod style & it was built with a very steep inclined roof so snow wouldn't accumalate on it!

perry, there are a few brick buildings in downtown proper just a few blocks north of Flagler Street but don't know the address.

Yes, I loved it and thought it was funny about the roof too. I went years ago when I was a teen in the late 70's. I wonder if it's still the same? Did Hurricane Andrew damage it? Have to make time to tour it again.

I know of several that were stuccoed over by Latin American residents. I put a small brick wall by my doorway in a modern style.

At least they don't have Brownstones like the Bronx, right? That would totally suck. Actually, I totally love the color scheme in Miami. The impression it leaves you with is one of deep Green foliage, White pavement, White roofs, generally bleached out colors of buildings and exposed land with the exception of the Terra Cotta painted houses and Spanish tile roofs. I like the prevalent and daring use of Lime Green as well as Teal, Turquoise, and Aqua. That combined with the high sun angle and the general brightness of South Florida lift my spirits!
