  • The brickyard at Fort Edmonton Park includes the firm's original brickmaking machinery housed in a replica building. The original brickyard was located in the Riverdale area where river-terrace clay suitable for brickmaking could be found. Their first kiln was started in 1893.
  • In 1958 the brickyard closed as there was no more clay to be found as well as the increasing difficulty of finding skilled operators for the brickmaking machinery.
