Once...

...these brick stairs led to a house high up on the hill.  Just think...now you have the opportunity to build your own house here.  I love seeing brick out here in Los Angeles.  There isn't a lot around.  It always strikes me as very East Coast...which is probably why I like seeing it.  A little reminder of the brick rowhouse I spent part of  my childhood in.

Details...

It's all in the details.   The choice of material, placement, colour.  Deliberate.   To set a mood,  a feeling, a mindset.
