Description
Today...the brick yard has disappeared and the ground is overgrown with small trees. A grain elevator is at left and the railroad yards in the background, also present in the 1904 picture, are almost obscured by the underbrush.
[Photo used for the "before" photo is not in the files; the caption below the photo in the Nonpareil reads:
"Council Bluffs Changing Scene--This is the old Wickham Brick Yard, at the end of North Eighth Street paving as it appeared in 1904. The brick yard was at one time one of the city's leading industries, turning out millions of bricks for homes and streets. The bricks were stacked in the long sheds, center, for drying.
