- Description
- An English brick found in the Heyward Family Cemetery near Grahamville, South Carolina. It is a solid style, sandstruck brick. The brick is dark reddish brown in color with small deposits of white residue on the brick surfaces. The brick is misshapen and has a roughly right trapezoidal shape. The Old Slave Mart Museum catalog number, [R154], is handwritten in black ink over a small rectangular patch of white paint in a corner of the narrower of the brick’s faces. The other brick face is covered with heavy grayish-white mortar. The brick’s misshapen stretcher side is coarse and irregular. And the overall surface of the brick is heavily weathered and worn on all sides with minor losses along the edges.
