Densmore Brick Company 2004
Lebanon, NH

 

The Densmore Brick company had several kiln sites in Vermont and New Hampshire.  In 1973 I photographed the Vermont Densmore Brickyard shortly before those Bee Hive kilns were destroyed.

 

There were five bee hive kilns at this New Hampshire site, in April of 2004 when I took theses photos.  Two of the kilns have collapsed and the three remaining bee hives are in extreme disrepair.

The ceilings of all the bee hives I have ever seen are works of art unto themselves.
