Hudson River Brickmakers (28 minute documentary)

Hudson River Brick Makers In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Hudson River valley was the world capital of brick making. Due to a variety of factors, the last Hudson River brick yard closed in 2002, ending three and a half centuries of brick making on the Hudson. Bricks are so common that they go unnoticed. This 1/2 hour documentary demonstrates that they are a prism by which we can examine diverse topics including technological innovation, urban planning, and immigration. "Hudson River Brick Makers" also shows how the explosive building boom in New York City at the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries supported many brick making communities along the Hudson. The film was directed by Jim Ormond for the Local History Channel and narrated by Ray Arrucci.
