brick foundation
Building's clay support
A brick foundation is the base of a building constructed from brick, supporting the structure above and transferring its weight to the ground.
Common in older construction before concrete became standard, brick foundations remain valued for their durability and appearance: The 1890s farmhouse still rests on its original brick foundation.
