In 1889 there was a dream.Not a dream of bricks, no,
But a dream of a fence.
A hole was dug and mud was found.
Mr. Taylors lit with eureka!
"What magnificant clay"
A thought did occur
"We shall turn it into profit
And create Don Valley Pressed Brick Company"
119 years later, my guess is that 8 of 10 people who THINK they are amazing photographers, flock to this historical site and 'snap, snap, snap', not knowing that this building has endured two World Wars, Depression, USA take over.
Since the topic of history has arose, here are some interesting facts of 1889:
Eiffel Tower opens to public
Great Seattle Fire
Total eclipse of the sun
Adolf Hitler is born
James Joule dies
