The Wall Project







While we were in Concordia visiting Joel's parents, we were able to see new brick mural depicting various historical sites and industries of Cloud County. The wall was several years in the making from start to finish...the artwork, the carving of the bricks, the numbering and firing of the bricks, the brick laying. Each brick (made locally) weighs 22 lbs. and the wall is 140 ft. in length (7 sections of 20 ft each), so this project was quite a feat. They intend to finish off the area with a brick patio and landscaping, providing an interesting focal point as you drive through town. (Click on pictures to enlarge.) For more info, visit the blog.
