Western Clay (Actually has a question mark on it so maybe not?)

Englishman C.C. Thurston established a brickyard at this site in 1883. In 1885, Nicholas Kessler, a longtime Helena brewer and brickmaker, bought the brickworks from Thurston and placed Bray in charge.  By 1900, the Kessler Brick and Sewer Pipe Works was one of Montana’s leading clay manufacturers.
