I know there's a lot in my backyard (which is just lovely for gardening). We read a little about East Liverpool as the Pottery Capital of the World. I guess with Roseville, Lotus Ware, and Rookwood, we're pretty lucky.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-34816715641727838622009-01-26T10:42:00.000-05:002009-01-26T10:42:00.000-05:00I was raised in East Liverpool, Ohio, where the cl...I was raised in East Liverpool, Ohio, where the clay industry was for pottery. It had not crossed my mind that the kilning and earthen ware nature of the state would spread to bricks also. I love it that the tunnels in New York are bricks from Ohio! That is terrific!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966811599351980674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-19184527145780599502009-01-25T14:15:00.000-05:002009-01-25T14:15:00.000-05:00...we wondered the same thing.

The only thing we found was the generic use of the term "block" instead of brick because some of the manufacturers made more than one size, referring to all their products as "blocks." (I just noticed in the post before yours I spelled "new" as "knew." I hate that! There doesn't seem to be a way to edit comments, so I guess it will just have to stay incorrect...and I wrote "Tens" instead of "ten"...rushing I guess.)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-18553347938981351622009-01-25T14:02:00.000-05:002009-01-25T14:02:00.000-05:00Wow, that's really neat Kelly.

Too bad you didn't find any Athens or Nelsonville bricks in there (we have quite a collection of them at our house). BTW, does anyone know why they use the word "block" on the bricks instead of the more obvious "brick"?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791185232391134319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-16565730575669804902009-01-25T10:23:00.000-05:002009-01-25T10:23:00.000-05:00Thanks, Nina...Matty and I were saying the same th...Thanks, Nina...Matty and I were saying the same thing. The tile work on the building is beautiful, especially the bright turquoise tiles. It could be turned into beautiful condos or apartments too. It the 90s they started a massive cleanup of all the barrels that had been dumped and buried on the grounds because it's above an aquafer that supplies the region with drinking water. Last I heard, the site had been restored. Tens years ago I lived in Sunrise Landing about one minute from the place and they kept us up to date. I haven't heard anything knew since then, though.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-54912829497053915732009-01-25T08:20:00.000-05:002009-01-25T08:20:00.000-05:00That's so rich with history.The warehouse has hous...That's so rich with history.<BR/>The warehouse has housed many companies, even after the cartridge industry passed--vinyl records, I believe--and, unfortunately is the site of a superfund project for toxic cleanup.<BR/><BR/>It has always seemed so lovely--I wish someone would buy it and love it into an artists colony or something. But the toxic history will probably be its downfall.<BR/><BR/>We are so fortunate to have the bike trail for walking!nina at Nature Remains.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07888238636692649668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-25975681992561243692009-01-25T00:50:00.000-05:002009-01-25T00:50:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.HebAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15422832696900841266noreply@blogger.com
