Description: Inside one of the brick kilns at the Claybank Brick Plant. These downdraft kilns held 300,000 bricks for firing and were hand-loaded and unloaded. Initially they were fired by coal, but were later changed to natural gas. It took one week of firing and one week of cooling for each batch of bricks. Recovered heat was used for drying bricks before loading in the kiln.
