Artistic tile in an usual place

Sitting in a doctor's office is never much fun. After all, one is usually there for some reason that's concerning. Every now and then, though, there's something to take your mind off waiting for grim news (or relief), and knowing my penchant for tile art, this office fit the bill for a lovely distraction. The building is clearly older and has some interesting architectural features, but the staircase is special. The tile on the steps is artistic, but it was the tile trim against the brick wall that makes this distinctive. At first I thought it was painted, but nope, it's actually tile work.  From one angle, it looked like the brick was cut around the tile, but further inspection indicates the tile is simply on the brick, which makes sense because cutting brick to shape would be a nightmare. It's a true work of art.
