The owner was grumbling that it cost him a lot more money and time to hack away the plaster.
It would have been cheaper to just put in some new bricks.
He ended off the conversation by saying that it was a labour of love.
I’m glad this owner took the time to uncover this home’s heritage.
If he had replaced the bricks, the wall wouldn’t be called the Alexandra Brick wall anymore.

It could have become the Jurong Brick wall instead. Haha.

Those Alexandra bricks came from the post-war SIT flats or the pre-war SIT flats?
Hi Peter,
I found those bricks from the Pre-War flats.
I actually curious to find out if the post war flats has these Alexandra bricks as well.
Will share my discovery with everyone here.
Was exploring Chinese Cemetery last week. Some of the graves were lined with Alexandra brick. Must be a premium brand name at its hey days.
