THEMAFirmenbeschreibung
TEXTCalvin Houghton opened this yard as long ago as 1833; he was succeeded by Hugh Workman, who conducted the business until the year 1880, when the present firm assumed the proprietorship. There are three varieties of brick produced at this yard, namely: red brick, white brick and spiral-shaped brick for wells, etc. The average number made is one hundred and twenty-five thousand per week, to accomplish which the services of six men are required. This enterprise has added much to the facilities which Brantford possesses for the erection of good buildings.
