Information

Due to an abundance of natural resources, including large deposits of shale, limestone and building stone, the Coffeyville Vitrified Brick & Tile Company was established in Collinsville in 1908. At full capacity, the plant employed 40 to 50 men and was one of the largest brick plants in the state. Bricks from this plant were shipped all over the United States. Begining in 1913, these bricks were used to pave the main streets of Collinsville (some 50 blocks), as well as many of the brick buildings erected, plus several brick homes in Collinsville. While many of the brick streets have been paved over, you can still find a few side streets that show these historic bricks.
