There are other things you can do with brick: you can do portions in a herringbone or other pattern. Or, you can increase the number of windows or add some cast stone. If you look at the old dairy building, it's not an architectural marvel, but the all brick facade looks nice. I was driving downtown today and noticed the back of the Deep Deuce apartments are dark colored stucco like that shown in the Holiday Inn plan, and I think it's unattractive. I'm hoping that when the vice president of operations says "more brick and will better conform with district standards" he means "all brick".
