Probably going to seem like a dumb question to some of you, but I've googled, asked my realtor, etc but cannot come up with a definite answer.
A house I am looking at buying is brick on the bottom, solid brick construction with headers, but the second floor has siding. Built in 1920s. All the nearby homes are similar, brick on the bottom and siding on the 2nd floor.
Does this mean that the 2nd floor is likely not brick?
Or is it common to put siding over the brick on the 2nd floor for some reason?
If not brick on the 2nd floor, is it studs sitting on top of the first floor brick?
I do not have a picture of the home currently but will go back in a day or 2 to take some if needed. Any help is much appreciated.
