Lawrence Brickyard Fueled City’s Rise Then Faded
The former brickworks began in the 1800s and peaked in the early 1900s. Lawrence families owned the concern, and the city boasted 55 miles of paved brick streets between 1915 and 1920, making it among the Midwest’s best paved areas. Brick recycling raises interest as contractors find usable Lawrence bricks in local brickyards near the northern edge of town.
