Years ago, apparently the engineering school at WVU was experimenting with these cylindrical concrete stones, and my Grandpa got a bunch for either free or cheap... and used them to build all the garden walls. They are very nice and honestly stay right where you put them without mortar for... well.. they've been there 40 years. A few got hit by cars and they just fell over, they didn't break.
You can see them a few other places in town but as far as I know you can't get them anywhere.
They are super-great and I love them.
Here are some Column Bricks from a 1976 set. They are good for porch columns and railings. These are the same as the green Column Bricks from the 1967 Wheel Toy, the largest 1970 set, and Halsam's Constructioneer.

Family homestead, garden and boma/kraal (central animal pen areas within a homestead) surrounded by larger boma usually made of thorny acacia; located enroute to Ndutu, Tanzania, February 2010. Although only about 5 percent of Tanzania's land area is used for farming, agriculture accounts for more than a third of the country's economic production.
Most farming is done by hand with hoes and long-bladed knives. Many farmers can grow only enough food to feed themselves and their families. Chief food crops include bananas, cassava, corn, millet, rice, sorghum, wheat, and vegetables. Most homes are made of wooden frames plastered with mud and include a garden area nearby. Some homes (see photo) are round with thatched roofs. Others are rectangular with flat mud roofs. Some homes have metal roofs. In urban areas, some homes are made of cement blocks or baked clay bricks.

Built in 1924, the ground floor (east side) was converted into a pottery studio in 2003. The 1,800 sq ft co-operative studio now accommodates 25 ceramic artists who work together, sharing their experience and skill. The public will view artists at work, and a variety of finished artwork in the adjoining gallery.
The Standard Bread Company building has been given a heritage designation and is considered a rare example of an early 20th century industrial building. The Hintonburg neighbourhood landmark baked, sold, and delivered bread around Ottawa by horse and cart until the late 1960's, but for the last 30 years it has been occupied by Enriched Bread Artists and ClayWorks.
It is anticipated that the building will undergo a complete remodel in the near future as part of a development project that will incorporate this building into a mixed use facility, including housing, artists work spaces, a gallery and potentially a cafe.
