A former clay and shale pit operation located in sec. 10, T1N, R6W, MDM, just N of plant, 1.1 km (0.7 mile; 3,700 feet) ENE of Greenbrae. Ruins of one kiln on site. Possibly also located in sec. 11. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 1,000 meters. Remillard Brick Company built a plant in 1891 (there may have been a brick yard here earlier), and made common brick by the soft mud process. The brick yard was closed at the end of 1913 and never operated again. A lease was entered into in 1926 for use of the property to manufacture floor tile, but there is no record of any production.
Local rocks include rocks of the Franciscan melange.
Workings include surface openings comprised of a pit and a kiln.
