Brick is usually just a cosmetic facade attached to a wood framing system. The wood framing is the load bearing part of the wall, not the brick. However, the concrete block houses in The Villages, use the block as the load bearing part of the walls, so load bearing wood framing is not needed. Other houses use a load bearing wood framing system with vinyl siding.
