CALIFORNIA BRICKS
Here are some questions that need to be answered by those of you who may know.
E. J. Lavino and Company had a refractory brick plant located at 8550 Wells Ave., Newark, CA,
that closed in 1971. Does anyone know the names of brick brands made at that plant? Does
anyone have pictures or samples of those bricks?
When did Gladding, McBean & Company, based in Lincoln, CA, stop manufacturing brick?
Does anyone have or know of the bricks made by the Remillard-Dandini Brick Co. in San Jose
during the 1950s and 1960s? Do you know of good examples of their brick in any buildings
that are still standing?
