Taco reports: "The windows are situated in a wall between
two toilets of which one has a window and the other gets light from that
window through the glass bricks."

 |
| Taco visited the Huy (Hoei) factory, took this new set
of pics, and retrieved some briques. The installation was even more
important than the first pictures indicated: it has very unusual red
bricks which appear to be colored with a coating on the inside, patterned
windows on the upper floors, mixed windows of different type bricks,
and has briques from a different manufacturer: Etablissements Gaston
Blanpain-Massonet of Bruxelles, whose variation on the #8 pattern (with
more concentric circles) is in a nice light rose glass. The factory has
suffered at the hands of vandals, and many briques are missing or damaged.
Hopefully what's left can be preserved!

| The much less common #9 pattern are used in the basement window
of this building in the village of Alblasserdam (Cortgene 127). Taken by a
colleague of Taco's. The owner wishes to restore. |
