♻️ Turning History Into Something New ♻️
One of the more unique aspects of the Topre America project was the opportunity to reclaim and repurpose historic clay bricks that once served the former International Harvester facility located on the property.
Working alongside Dry Lane Construction, we were able to preserve a piece of the site’s history rather than sending it to a landfill. Topre America recognized the value of these original clay bricks, and together we gave them a second life by creating two outdoor patio spaces where employees can relax and enjoy their lunch breaks.
Projects like this are especially rewarding because they combine sustainability, craftsmanship, and history. Materials that have been part of this property for generations can now continue serving a purpose for generations to come.
A huge thank you to Topre America for seeing the value in preserving these historic materials and to Dry Lane Construction for their partnership throughout this project.
We’re proud to have played a role in transforming a piece of the past into a functional outdoor space that employees can enjoy every day.
