Bruno Clayworks "T" Brick
Sample of Bruno Clayworks "T" bricks, manufactured at the old clayworks located 4 km west of Bruno, SK. The clayworks operated between 1905-1960s, and produced a unique sideways "T" shape brick that interlocked when stacked with each row rotated 180º to the previous. The bricks photographed were removed during a room renovation within the 1919 portion of the former St. Ursula's Academy / Ursulines of Bruno Convent (now St. Therese Institute of Faith and Mission).

Bruno Clayworks, located 4 km west of Bruno, produced over one million bricks between the years 1905 and the 1960s.[6] The historic Old Fire Hall and Jail, a heritage building housing the Bruno Museum, was built from bricks manufactured at the brick plant,[7] as were many other area buildings. The bricks manufactured by the Bruno Clayworks were a unique sideways "T" shape which allowed rows of bricks to interlock when rotated 180º.
