A bit on architectural history. Old houses were made of bricks of mud, clay, cow manure and some kind of grass or straw, between the cracks they would add more clay or mud and bits and pieces of pottery or tile, they didn't use cement back then. The columns, as can be seen from the picture, were of brick and mortar. It was all then covered in plaster and paint and details done in wood and/or plaster. It is truly sad to see how people have let culture decay and once beautiful houses crumble to pieces. Cheers, NM Hallos,
