Over at Glen-Gery’s ‘Why Brick’ page, they say :

” Brick gives us everything that we desire in a home — comfort, enduring beauty, style, craftsmanship and peace of mind. More importantly, brick delivers all that we need in a home — permanence, stability, security, design integrity and long-term value. Throughout history brick has been chosen by those who want a home with character and a home that contributes increasingly to their investment. “

We agree.
