Antique Texas Brick - Whiteselle Corsicana Cherry Reds
Corsicana Brick yard and pit was located across Farm-to-Market Road 709 to the south of the Magnolia Refinery. The Magnolia Company bought out the Corsicana Brick Company. The Magnolia Company built its new headquarters in downtown Dallas using bricks from the Corsicana location. This is the building still standing today with the flying red horse on top. Completed in 1926, this building and others prove just how durable bricks manufactured by Corsicana Brick and Whiteselle Brick could withstand the test of time.
