I think these are known as Cream City bricks. What does that say about a city if they have their own style of bricks? I can’t answer that but I can say this style is definitely distinctive.
Download a photogramically captured seamless, tileable CG brick material in 8K (8192 x 8192px) 16-bit tiff maps.
The material includes diffuse, specular, roughness, occlusion, displacement (heights) and tangent space normal maps. All are seamless and tileable.
This material was set up in Arnold for Maya but it will work in any Diffuse/Specular based material render engine.

Light Colored Bricks
This material was photogramically captured from real world materials. The displacement scale will depend upon your scene scale. There is a number in parenthesis appended to the displacement map file name. This is typically a good starting scale. Experiment until it looks good in your scene scale. Be sure that if your 3D package applies a color space transform to any textures that at least the normal map is set to use the raw unprocessed image or you will get incorrect results.
Use this material in any way you see fit for either personal, academic or commercial projects. Credit is not required but it’s always nice! If you are going to give credit please do so like this:
