Hudson Brick and Supply Company Ledgers

The Hudson Brick and Supply Company, which operated at the United Brick Corporation Brick Complex (also called the New York Avenue Brickworks), was located on the grounds of what is now the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. Some of the kilns and buildings that were constructed between 1927 and 1931 still stand and are of architectural interest. The brickmaking complex was a significant manufacturing concern in the District of Columbia in the early twentieth century. The complex permanently closed in 1972, and was transferred to the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1976. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in October 1978.
