- Abstract
A historic site with evidence of adobe manufacturing by the Adobe Brick Manufacturing Company, which operated from 1949 to 1970, was recently identified and documented by NWB Environmental Services archaeologists during a utilities project survey. Archaeological features include machinery remnants, adobe brick remnants, and a water well. The Adobe Brick Manufacturing Company produced millions of adobe bricks that were used for the construction of housing communities, commercial buildings, and other structures near Escondido in San Diego County. This historic site provides evidence of the resurgence in the use of adobe in Escondido, California from the 1940s until the early 1970s when the company ceased operations.
