Authentic History in Every Brick

Why Used Common Brick makes a lasting impression

Used common brick — often salvaged from historic Chicago buildings — carries a patina and texture that simply can't be replicated with new materials. These reclaimed bricks feature warm, weathered tones, irregular edges, and subtle variations that add authenticity and charm to any project. Whether restoring a vintage facade or adding character to modern construction, used common brick delivers a level of detail that tells a story.

  • Reclaimed from historic urban buildings

  • Naturally weathered colors and textures

  • Irregular sizes and edges for old-world charm

  • Sustainable choice through material reuse

  • Ideal for restoration, accent walls, fireplaces, and garden features

Full-Range

Also called “Black and Tans” or “Old Chicago’s” it is the standard Chicago brick that has a mixture of color with the classic Chicago look. The full range brick is the most common brick in our yard, but it has the largest variance in color.

Buff

Buff

This style was produced from the 1920s to the late 1960s. The range in quality and consistency is vast with the buff brick because of length of time this brick was manufactured. The color range for the buff brick has a yellow base and a variety of pinks and blacks in the blend.

Pink

Pink

Pink bricks were produced from the 1940s to the late 1960s and have a high consistency in both color and quality. The color ranges from a light pink color that begins to blend into the buff (yellow), and extends to a deep coral colored red that are a favorite for pool decks and patios in Florida and throughout the Caribbean.

Handmade

Handmade
