[MassHistPres] purpose brick nogging

[HHS Director]

Hello Preservation listers,

 

A question from one of our historic house owners re: his home built in 2nd
quarter 18th c. He's found rough brick nogging throughout, and wondered if
it was a form of insulation, or perhaps reinforcing to protect from attacks?

 

Your collective wisdom eagerly awaited.
