The structure in front of you was referred to by many of the workers as the old boiler room, being the original boiler room for the factory. Through changes in ownership and updating of equipment this building was turned into a storehouse once the new boiler room was built.

The remains of the building behind the old boiler room was known as the Sand House. Sand, used to keep the bricks from sticking together during the firing process, was held in the main compartment of this building. A small section of this building was divided off to house a more specialized sand used for a brick glazing process. Both sands were shipped in by railway which once ran directly behind this building and along the park entry road. (Marker Number 8.)
