Often brick buildings were utility buildings or factories because plastering was associated with an additional cost, although there were exceptions as neo-Gothic churches where the architectural detail was carefully arranged brick and stonework. After 1918, when Poland regained independence, brick buildings were associated with the tsar's possessive power, and to mark independence, great plastering began. Several Orthodox churches were also demolished on this occasion.
