We used these up in Dubuque, customer absolutely loves em! They are a very attractive and neutral antique cobblestone

Most people don't fully understand reclaimed cobblestone until they hold a piece in their hands. The weight of it, the texture, the color variation that shifts from one stone to the next... it doesn't photograph the way it looks in person.

Our Antique NYC Salt and Pepper Cobblestone is genuine granite reclaimed from historic New York City streets. Over 150 years of history in every stone.

If you're speccing materials for an upcoming project, request a free sample first. We'll ship it straight to you.

These MBC bricks from
Menonomie Wisconsin wete one of the first bricks I did a mass salvage on...in 1994 when I was 12 years old my Dad and I did salvage on the old Minneapolis Veterans Administration Hospital which was built with these bricks, a few years later we also salvaged these bricks from Southtown Center in Bloomington, Suburban Minneapolis, MBC was a popular Mid Century Brick!

Chippewa Valley Museum's new exhibit is The U.S. at 250: From the Collections 1876-1926. “This is US at 250” social media series continues the exhibit theme. A Menomonie brick is the subject of today’s “This Is Us at 250.”

After the logging era moved west, Chippewa Valley towns and cities were diversifying their economic sources. After being bought and sold a few times, a local brick company in Menomonie was incorporated as the Menomonie Brick Co. in 1912.

Fires destroyed many local homes and businesses. The rich clay soil around Menomonie was turned into bricks that significantly shaped the regional architecture in the early 1900s. The Menomonie Brick Co. produced millions of bricks before it closed in the late 1960s.They sold bricks as far west as North Dakota and Minnesota. Diana, Editor
