Abstract
A simulated stone or brick column or retaining wall is made up of rows of masonry blocks of generally trapezoidal configuration arranged in end-to-end relation to one another in each row, each block including a recessed portion being aligned with one another in each row and each block having textured wall surfaces simulating the appearance of brick or stone along one or more wall surfaces arranged in different configurations without the necessity of interlocking the blocks together.

A masonry block of generally trapezoidal configuration, comprising:
- a lower-most flat surface;
- a recessed portion extending upwardly from the lower-most flat surface;
- and
- at least one textured external wall surface simulating the appearance of stone or brick;
- wherein the lower-most flat surface surrounds the recessed portion on two sides and defines a lower outer perimeter and an upper flat surface that defines an upper outer perimeter, the upper outer perimeter larger than the lower outer perimeter;
- and
- wherein the block further comprises a rear surface tapering downwardly from a top surface and terminating in the lower-most flat surface, and wherein the textured external wall surface is oriented vertically when the top surface and the lower-most flat surface are oriented horizontally, and wherein the rear surface comprises a cavity.
