The topmost image shows the immediate proximity of the firing kilns to the spur tracks that serviced this brickyard. Depending on their location, brickyards commonly relied on either railcars or barges to move their product beyond the local market. The two lower images show huge stacks of brick and the laborers responsible for hauling it. Photographed only a few months after the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904, some of these stacks may have contained salvaged brick that was slated to be recycled.
