This building in The Rocks has a Flemish brick bond and flush mortar joint. The walls are structural, rising from ground to roof and are made up of two coloured and types of bricks. A dark purple type of brick is used for semi-circular and segmented arches over window openings but is not used for all window arches as seen above. The purple bricks are also used as an aesthetic element creating linear horizontal lines across the facade through a pattern of cobbling or recesses of brick courses.
This holiday inn has a stretcher bond and flush brick joint but most interesting is its brick on edge courses formed over windows and also soldier course lining the top of the building each different in colour to the brick beside it. The multi-coloured bricks used range from red, brown, cream to blue tones.
