My friend Mark hosted a #BikeCamping weekend at #PointPinole. He's interested in old #bricks, and he collects them. Part of the draw of Point Pinole was an old #brick dump, where I found this brick.
It inspired me to research the bricks used for the second #SanFrancisco City Hall, and I compiled that research in a few blog posts. I'm interested in local #history, and I knew about the #Remillard family and brick company for their contributions to #Oakland and the #SFBayArea. It was another bike ride that brought me back to them, and their bricks... The research into the Remillard Brick Company, and the Remillard family resulted in enough information that I'm putting it here.
