More yellow brick homes in London than elsewhere in Ontario

This clay brick home in North London features the area's much loved yellow brick which was made from the rich, limestone-saturated but iron-deficient clay found throughout Perth and Middlesex Counties. It was manufactured locally and used in most building construction in the late 19^th and early 20^th century. Reportedly, London has the highest concentration of yellow brick homes of any place in the province.

Note the interesting pattern in the brick below the eavestrough. And notice all the upgrades that this home has enjoyed over the years. Lighting, shutters, front door, stone porch and steps plus a carefully done rear addition. The homes in North London are aging very gracefully.
