The Claybank Brick Plant remains frozen in time, virtually unchanged from the day it opened in 1912.

The bricks manufactured here graces lots of prestigious buildings across Saskatchewan as wel as other areas and adorns buildings such as the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, along with others! The fire brick was also used in construction of the rocket launch pads at Cape Canaveral in Florida.

The building is not suitable to go inside due to the age and structures, but you'll be able to take pictures from the outside and explore the other areas.
