MHS Resources: Manitoba Bricks and Blocks: Johnson [Johnston] YardIn late August 1904, H. Johnson [Johnston] arrived in Brookdale to start a brick-making factory on the east side of the village. By early September 1904, the yard was reported to be in full operation, with the expectation of turning out a first batch of bricks. Unfortunately, this was the last time that this yard was mentioned in the local news.
