Hand-dyed bricks at Rideau Cottage

            Today, the We're Here! gang is examining bricks

Rideau Cottage, current home of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family, was built in 1886.

Its brickwork has a bit of a history:

Originally, the structure had 14 rooms on a single floor. An 1872 remodel, using a different brick, added both the second level and a verandah on three sides of the ground floor. During that remodel, the exterior brick of the first floor was covered in stucco painted to appear like brick.

Between 1999 and 2000, the building underwent major renovations. The stucco was removed and each brick and joint was individually dyed to give a uniform appearance.

By the way, that's our PM this morning, coming out for his daily address to Canadians. Yes, even on a Sunday (albeit without a necktie)! 

Snapped safely from home, and give a bit of halation in Alien Skin, to minimize the telltale lines from the TV.
