Metropolis whispers stories of forgotten city life. Imprinted with the word "Metropolitan," it transcends its humble origins, reminding us that beauty resides in the overlooked. Each crack and crevice holds the essence of a city, its vibrancy, its decay. This piece is a remnant of the past and holds elegance in the mundane.

The 1920's Metropolitan Block paving bricks were used in the construction of the Lincoln Tunnel, portions of the Lincoln Highway, and Queens midtown tunnel in New York City. Metropolitan Brick opened in 1902 and in 1923, were in peak production. The company has furnished paving bricks to hundreds of cities from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean, and to many cities throughout Canada. It grew to be one of the largest, if not the largest, of the paving brick manufacturers in the world.
