W.A. Underhill Stamped Brick from Croton Point Kilns

A close-up photograph displays a rectangular, reddish-orange brick with the letters "W A U" deeply impressed into its face. The brick shows signs of age and wear, including minor chips and surface imperfections. This mark likely identifies it as a product of the W.A. Underhill Brick Company, a prominent manufacturer with kilns historically located at Croton Point in Croton-on-Hudson. Such bricks were widely used in construction throughout Westchester County and the broader Hudson Valley region.
