Below is the1873 map showing that the Brick Yard is still at the corner of Main and Loomis and  Lane Pitkin and Brock are the owners. They are connected to Lane Manufacturing and it makes sense they want to make their own bricks. There is even a new road called Pitkin Street and is parallels Liberty to meet on College st to the east. It turns out that the road would not be built as planned. It turned into the current Harrison Ave that takes a turn to meet with Main St. Looks like no one is anxious to develop that area between Pitkin and Liberty and there is a reason. It’s one big giant Clay Hill.

Below is the closeup of the Brickyard owned by T Merrill is at the corner of Loomis and Main St. The detailed hill below it is a CLAY HILL!
