Although currently only a partial wall of this 300 foot kiln remains, this brick factory has withstood over a century of brick production through five separate owners, a fire which spread throughout the plant in 1927, the depression era of the '30's and a temporary shut down during WWII.

The factory produced hundreds of thousands of bricks which have been distributed throughout Michigan and parts of the midwest. Structures built with these bricks still remain standing today. Examples are found in Grand Ledge, on the MSU campus and in some of the Oldsmobile factory buildings. (Marker Number 7.)
