Implications of material in architecture

In this headmaster's house from another century, viewed by the passerby from the Evandale highway, we see a Georgian era application of the red brick material favoured by establishment colonial architects for much of the institutional architecture they created.  Stern, severe and chronically boring, a sense of ordeal and belligerent resignation of the inhabitants of these mundane yet fanciful style buildings, is conveyed in the cluttered lacings of plumbing pipes, bracings and fittings snaking the facades.
