St. Joe Brick

St. Joe Brick Manufacturing colonial woodmould brick since 1891. Our History

Founded in 1891, and purchased in 1895 by Peter W. Joe Brick Works, Inc. St. Joe Brick.

Schneider when he acquired the small hand-operated plant, St. has been under continuous operation for 130 years, and by the Schneiders for 126 years. This plant located 40 miles north of New Orleans is the oldest family brick manufacturers east of the Mississippi River making colonial moulded face brick using wood moulds. is one of only a very few brick plants that uses the soft-mud process of ma

king brick in which the clay is formed into individual bricks in a wooden mould as was done in the early colonial period. It is so unique in its color and texture characteristics that architects have specified its use in many areas as distant as Massachusetts, New York, Northern Michigan, and Minnesota. It has been used extensively by the Bell Telephone System, Rice University of Houston, and Texas Instruments of Dallas. Many churches and architecturally designed structures have been constructed with this material because of its characteristic aging qualities, although more modern buildings such as the Savannah Hilton in Georgia, The Hockaday School, Pan American University, St. Luke's of Houston, Broward Mental Hospital, of Hallendale, Florida, the Heyman Oil Center in Lafayette, Louisiana, and the Botanical Gardens at Atlanta also have utilized St. We continue today to make what we always have, a good honest brick, full in dimension and character, no coatings to hide our naturally beautiful rich shades of color, no holes that would keep our brick from being truly versatile, as a brick should be. woodmoulds can be used for both exterior and interior pavers, and for walls with character in any architectural scheme. They have been appreciated and used by each generation of architects for over a century. The much sought after New Orleans "Hard Tan" and "Soft Red" Used Brick coming from demolished structures in New Orleans today were originally manufactured at St. and other St. Tammany Parish brick yards in existence before and after the turn of the century.
