The factory has been producing bricks since 1896 and is still owned by the McAvoy family. The 25,000 sq. ft. factory produces up to 100,000 bricks a day, 36 million bricks each year.

"Not too many people in the area, or even the country, make anything anymore and there aren't many businesses owned by Americans," said fourth-generation president, Creighton H. "Butch" McAvoy. "Most brick companies are owned by multi-national corporations."

While many brick manufactures now rely on machinery to produce bricks, McAvoy still relies on hand labor to preserve the quality and efficiency of their product.
