What Are Buildings Made Of?

   Identify It! #1

ANSWER: Brick and Terra Cotta

Yes!

This is a machine-made brick with terra cotta - you can tell it's terra cotta because it is set in pieces (with a mortar line in between) and because where it's chipped away, you can tell that the inside is a different color than the outside.
