Area Information
- Location: Halifax Regional Municipality.
Three brothers named Lantz moved from Queens County to Milford shortly after 1890. They established a lumber mill near the railroad and built both a siding and a brickyard.
- The Miller brothers bought the brickyard soon after and renamed it Elmsdale Brick. In 1908, the brickyard was again sold, but to N. S. Clay Workers this time. The new owners built a 175 foot chimney and 2 weeks after it was built, it fell down into the steam boiler.
- In 1930 L. E. Shaw bought the Brick Co., upon purchase he had 100 feet of the 175 foot chimney removed – this chimney remains standing to this day. At first, the Brick Co. operated during the six summer months only and employed about 30-40 people. Today it is operated all year round and employes approximately 175 people. East Hants |
