CA EDM MS-218-EA-149-2 · Stuk · 1902
Part of Peter Anderson fonds

On verso: 'The hills in the background would [be] between 116th Street and 120th St.; now 100 Ave. runs along the top. In the foreground is a kiln with fire boxes all along which is a common brick kiln. The part you see is made of fire brick and is permanent. The bricks are dried and built up inside this kilm in a pattern to let the air circulate freely to fire the bricks evenly. When they were build up about 20 ft., the outside was plastered with thick mud and cord wood was used to fire them, 24 hours a day. The round kilns were permanent and pressed brick were put in them in a patter so as the air circulated around evenly and slack coal was used for firing the kilns. If it got too hot the brick would melt together and were at first thrown away, later used at Trinity Church'. Likely written in 1972.
