Abstract:

J. Harry Cunningham founded the Cunningham Brick Company with several other family members in 1909. Located near Thomasville, the company survived a fire in 1925 that destroyed the plant. Cost to replace the plant was over $100,000. Today, Cunningham's capacity is over 35-million brick per year.
