This ornate brick Queen Anne structure, built in 1875, featured mortar that was "tuck" pointed. This term was historically used for mortar joints composed of at least two different colors: a base color and a contrasting color applied in a recess that was cut into the base color. On Sage Hall, a grey-colored "tuck" joint was installed within a red base color that matched the color of the brick. The grey "tuck" section of the joint was installed plumb and at a regular coursing to visually compensate for brick masonry surfaces that were irregularly laid.
