We have a building in downtown Greeley that is undergoing a very, very, very slow rehab (the owner can’t afford to do it all at once and with original materials) and he has made and used some concrete blocks to match (fairly closely) the original where there was glazed terra cotta… He had found a supplier of glazed bricks in Northern Colorado (I don’t know the name of the company) but they no longer have them.  I’m attaching a few photos of the building and bricks/blocks.  The photo showing a corner of the building with exposed bricks and the mess of the building on the corner, shows the blocks he has made (on the bottom left of the photo next to the concrete aggregate panel).

 

My main question is… do you know of any place where we might find glazed bricks to match the white bricks and the larger terra cotta blocks or someplace that might have something that would come close? 

 

Thank you for your help!
