Welcome back to another week of #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society!

Pictured here is the Whitewater Brick and Tile Company, located on Jefferson Street. The company opened in 1903 and produced brick and tile into the 1940s. Overall, Whitewater possesses a rich history of brickmaking, with the first brickyard in the area established in 1841. Many of the older brick homes in town and most of the downtown area buildings utilize the cream colored Whitewater brick produced by these local businesses.

Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society collections!
