Answer 1

Brick veneer is what you commonly see today. Which isn’t structural. Veneer is one layer of brick

Solid masonry would be atleast a double brick wall, and where you would see this style. They build up so far and then have to lock in the rows of brick with sideways bricks to make the wall structural.

To get the floor to attach to it, they either use beam pockets in the masonry, or attach a ledger board to the masonry
