The bricks of St John, New Brunswick

Seen on the end of a big old warehouse in the seaport city of St John, New Brunswick, Canada. I think It is showing the re-building of the town after the Great Urban Fire’ of 1877 that destroyed two-fifths of the city. Most of the wooden city by the water was gutted leaving only the brick buildings and making 13,000 people homeless. It destroyed 200 acres and 1612 structures

HWW, have a great day.

Herb Riddle replied to LotharW:

Yes, it is perhaps better to do that than just leave a big space. Glad you liked this one Lothar.

HWW, enjoy the week. Herb

Those urban fires have been very destructive in the past, lots of examples around the world. In another hand concrete constructions blocked natural water ways in most cities, so... we can see the results with massive floods.
HWW Herb, the ilustration is magnificent.
