Text of marker: "DeLAIGLE BRICK YARDS. In 1808, Nicholas de L'Aigle, a French refugee, established the brick yards 1/4 mile south which furnished Augusta with building brick for 75 years. River clay was "pugged" to the right consistency in a cylindrical vat by a stone turned with mule-power, and hand-moulded into bricks which were air-dried, built into kilns, and fired. Many old houses in Augusta and elsewhere in Georgia and the Carolinas are built of these bricks. Note: another marker with the same text is located at the Magnolia Cemetery driveway, north wall of administration building, on Walton Way at 3rd Street, Augusta." - External Identifiers:
