Green Brae Brick Kiln
The Remillard Brick Company, of which the Green Brae Brick Kiln is the only surviving
structure, was by 1900 the largest brickmaking firm on the Pacific Coast.
The kiln is one of the few remaining examples of the Hoffman type kiln in the U.S.
and is an engineering landmark of statewide significance. The kiln supplied much of
the brick required to rebuild San Francisco after the 1906 Earthquake, and the
Remillard Brick Company served as a chief supplier of bricks for the entire Pacific
coast. It was closed in 1915.
California Registered Historical Landmark No. 917
