At the beginning of the 20th century, about 80% of buildings were built of wood, because of this, fires often occurred in large cities. And people tried to replace wooden houses, finally finding a replacement: they began to use brick, clay or silicate. Since then, brick buildings have prevailed. Although more environmentally friendly and natural buildings are made of wood. Over time, many special means of antiseptic and fire treatment were invented, as well as paints. And now wooden houses are less at risk of fire, they rot less, and serve almost as much time as the houses of brick.
