Is clay brick cheaper than concrete block for house construction?
Cement bricks are generally stronger than clay bricks and more affordable. They do however not have the aesthetic value of most clay bricks therefor mostly require the wall to be plastered. Clay bricks on the other hand is strong enough and is split into separate categories of their own from face bricks, semi-face bricks and stock bricks. With face bricks being more expensive and have much more aesthetic value, these walls are almost never plastered and the bricks are always visible. Whether you use clay bricks or cement bricks will mostly depend on your budget, your need and what you want the building to look like.

Can cement bricks and concrete bricks be used together in the same wall construction?
I think that they can, if they are both used correctly, the cement and concrete bricks can be put together in the same wall construction. :) <><><> I think you need to define some words. Concrete is made by mixing portland cement, water, and sand/crushed stone. There ARE no "cement bricks" Traditional bricks are made by mixing clay, shale, and water, and baking them in a kiln (oven) at high temperatures. And yes, regular clay brick and concrete brick/ block are frequently both used in a wall. Together.

The Benefits Of Brick Paving?
Brick paving is the use of loose bricks instead of cement or asphalt to lay down a flat surface on the ground. This is a very common landscaping technique that is popular because it looks quite nice and gives a number of other benefits over different ways of doing the same thing. Brick paving is something that anyone can use to enhance both the look and the functionality of their home. First off, brick paving is used a lot in making little paths through a yard or garden. People have done this before with either dirt or cement. Dirt is not as nice as brick paving because it requires a lot more upkeep. The dirt can get spread around or scuffed up. You frequently have to bring in more dirt to fix the problems, and so it is a never-ending process. Cement does not require very much upkeep, but it does not look as elegant and beautiful as bricks. Brick paving is also used for driveways. This is very useful because the bricks have a little space between them. They are allowed to move and shift under the weight of people and vehicles. This shifting is not enough that you can even see it, but it means that the driveway will not crack -- like asphalt and cement will do -- and have to be patched. The bricks will just move around a little bit and resist damage. This can save you a lot of money in the long run since you will not have to do any repairs. It also looks very nice for those who are driving by on the street. Finally, brick paving is used for patios. This has the same benefit that a driveway has in that the bricks can move. You may not be driving on your patio, of course, but this also keeps the bricks from breaking in the winter. Both temperature changes and ice can damage a cement patio. The bricks will have a high-class appeal to begin with that they will not lose due to damage in the colder months. This is also good if you are going to have a lot of people on the patio.

Where was Westport Paving Brick Company?
Westport Paving & Brick was a Baltimore based manufacturer of bricks. The company was located in the Westport area of south Baltimore, an older industrial east coast city located in the state of Maryland. The company was founded around 1905 by William L. Wise Sr. of Baltimore, Maryland. At one time, Westport Paving & Brick was one of the larger manufcaturers of bricks in the DelMarVa area many of which were used in both the commercial as well as residential sectors. So well regarded were these bricks, known as 'Baltimore Bricks' that many were exported to other municipalities for construction of government buildings, streets, alley ways and sidewalks. Often the bricks were used during shipping as the ballast itself. By the mid 1920s with more automobiles prevalent amongst the middle class, a more refined surface was needed to give drivers a smoother ride and the time of the brick street was at an end. One place of note where the 'Baltimore Bricks' can be found in abundance is at the Ernest Hemingway house located in Key West, Florida. The bricks had initially been shipped via clipper ships to Key West in the 1910s. By the mid 1930s, the city council decided to upgrade their streets with the new easier to drive on concrete formulas so common at that time. Mr. Hemingway purchased the bricks from the city of Key West at the cost of one penny per brick. Hemingway purchased approximately 20,000 of these bricks which he used for the wall surrounding his property and also his walkways. Westport Paving & Brick was still in business during World War II and appears to have disbanded around 1948.
