Fire brick, manufactured from 1917 to 1926 by the Livermore Fire Brick Works.

Living in the suburbs often seems a bit dull, especially compared to life in a large city. Endless rows of well-tended lawns and gaping garage doors don’t seem to offer much to point my camera at. But if I keep my eyes open and look very carefully, here and there I might spot something that adds a bit of spice to an otherwise sleepy street and is definitely worth shooting.
