There’s no drywall inside the house? That’s interesting. What’s on the inside of the brick?

  There is. In the UK it's typically called plasterboard. I think the original commenter was trying to make the point that bricks are almost exclusively used for the outside, whereas in the US it seems to depend on the location. I've seen lots of brick houses on the East Coast but in the Midwest it seems a lot of houses are wooden on the outside.

    Even brick houses in the US are decorative brick veneer - the actual frame is almost always wood or metal.

  Outer walls generally consist of a layer of cheap bricks or concrete on the inside (made flat with stucco), nice looking bricks on the outside, with isolation foam in the middle. Load bearing inner walls consist of cheap bricks or concrete. Other inner walls are usually gypsum.

    Not only load bearing walls, but also walls between apartments.

  Standard is plaster applied directly to bricks / blocks for external walls and then plasterboard used for internal walls. Increasingly plasterboard is used for all walls.

  No drywall anywhere. I'd never seen drywall before being in the US. The inside wall is concrete, same as outside.
