Le Maçon | The Mason
The maçon, or mason, was a person who worked in stone or brick construction. Also known as a brick mason, stone mason or bricklayer, the mason was a craftsman who laid bricks to construct brickwork, or who laid any combination of stones, bricks, cinder blocks, or similar pieces.
At times, the stone mason and stonecutter performed the same work: cutting and shaping the stones, then setting them with mortar.
