Salvaged Salt Glazed Star Pavers create the walkway
of this 1874 Second Empire home located at Willard
Place, Hudson, New York.
Nelsonville Salt
Glazed Pavers were introduced in the late 1860's.
Produced in the Nelsonville, OH region, these bricks
were distinctive for their purple-brown tint, a
result of the clay used from around the region. They
came in a variety of patterns, the star being one of
the most popular. The patterns served a practical as
well as decorative function as well. Since these
bricks were used primary for sidewalk, the raised
patterns prevented water from pooling, thus
providing a solid, non-slip service for the walk.
Our client
installed heating under the walk so that when it
snows & ices the heater kicks in, there is no need
to shovel and the bricks are protected from damage. |
