brick houses
Sturdy clay homes
Brick houses are houses built with brick exterior walls rather than wood siding, stucco, or other materials.
The phrase appears in the nursery tale of the three little pigs, where the brick house alone withstands the wolf's huffing and puffing—making it a symbol of solid, lasting construction.
In the 1977 Commodores song, she's a brick house describes a woman with an impressively curvaceous figure, built solid and shapely.
