Old Tavern

A deep, velvety mahogany clay tone anchors the grounded profile of Old Tavern from the Columbia Collection, enriched by subtle dark chocolate undertones and warm roasted-garnet warmth across the stretchers. A dense, sand-dusted wirecut drag texture brings tactile depth and delicate vertical clefts to each face, while sharp, square-cut arrises cast clean shadow lines that preserve disciplined horizontal coursing alignment across extensive elevations. Designed for corporate office complexes, collegiate institutional halls, and refined commercial architecture, it coordinates effortlessly alongside light limestone lintels, dark bronze window mullions, clear-anodized glass framing, and dark slate roof detailing.

Manufactured in Modular, Utility, and Norman formats to provide complete geometric flexibility across project scales, Old Tavern delivers compelling visual contrast through mortar selection. Striking the masonry joints with an Ivory or bright White mortar establishes a crisp, graphic grid that distinctly outlines each unit, pulling structural piers, soldier courses, and projecting wall volumes into prominent architectural relief; conversely, laying the brickwork with a standard Gray or deep charcoal mortar recedes the bed lines, quietly knitting the uniform wine-brown faces into an enduring, monolithic masonry field with tailored finish consistency.
