Hudson Valley Ruins: Bricks and Brick Ruins of the Hudson Valley

12jan2:00 pm3:00 pmHudson Valley Ruins: Bricks and Brick Ruins of the Hudson Valley

Event Details

The Hudson Valley was once one of the great brick making centers of the world, with scores of brickyards on both sides of the Hudson River. Countless mansions, houses, schools, and factory buildings were built from Hudson River bricks, whose legacy can also be found in piles of reject bricks found along the shoreline today—many molded with the name of the brickyard owner or company. Robert Yasinsac and Thomas Rinaldi will tell the story of this once vibrant industry and highlight brickyard ruins that still exist, as well as notable ruins constructed from local bricks. Together they are co-authors of “Hudson Valley Ruins: Forgotten Landmarks of an American Landscape.”
