red brick architecture
Classic university style
Red brick architecture refers to buildings constructed primarily with red-colored bricks, a style that became widespread during the Industrial Revolution when mass production made bricks affordable.
The term often evokes Victorian-era factories, warehouses, and row houses, as well as early American collegiate buildings.
In Britain, red brick universities specifically designates civic universities founded in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, distinguished from older stone institutions like Oxford and Cambridge.
