Grey brick is one of our most requested offerings lately, but it's hardly a new infatuation for Chicago builders and homeowners. All around the city, hundred-year-old bungalows, courtyard apartments, and multi-unit structures can be found clad in this classic shade!

These days, many of our customers who come to the showroom hunting for cool greys leave with sample panels from Interstate Brick. Case in point? This single-family home in Lincoln Park, built with Interstate's enduringly beloved "Pewter" shade. We love how the residence pays respect to its many vintage neighbors with the color selection and traditional aesthetic, but offers a touch of modernity as well in the use of 2.25" x 16" long-format brick.

These lengthy sizes not only look cool and evoke a certain Prairie-esque horizontality — they're also incredibly economical, with a cost savings similar to that of utility bricks. Gorgeous and affordable? Yes please!
