Reverse Bricks
Old Nelsonville Brick Kilns
Nelsonville, Ohio
Nelsonville pavers, produced in the Hocking River valley in northwestern Athens County, are known for their salt-glazed surfaces. This glazing helped to make the pavers watertight and gave the blocks a very distinctive and attractive surface. Most of these bricks were made from the Lower Kittanning fireclay. Some of the old kilns and stacks of the Nelsonville Brick Company are preserved at Brick Kiln Park, on the west side of Nelsonville.
Nelsonville also is famous for its decorative sidewalk pavers, which include stars, circles, and flowers, all having the characteristic glazed surface.
