United Brick Corporation Brick Complex

The United Brick Corporation Brick Complex, also known as the New York Avenue Brick Kilns, is an historic industrial site. It is located at 2801 New York Avenue, Northeast, Washington, D.C. within the United States National Arboretum. The kilns are the only remaining brickyards in Washington, D.C.. The twelve remaining kilns were expanded in 1927, and are constructed of common brick, lined with fire brick, with vaulted roofs. There is a small gauge rail system, with a standard rail siding. In 1978, the complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
