Yarralumla brickworks, Industrial heritage site in Canberra, Australia.
The Yarralumla Brickworks complex spans six hectares, including a four-hectare quarry and two hectares of manufacturing buildings with multiple kilns.
The facility opened in 1913 as the first industrial manufacturing site in the Australian Capital Territory, producing bricks for constructing the new national capital.
The Staffordshire kiln at Yarralumla represents the last remaining structure of its type in Australia, demonstrating early 20th-century industrial manufacturing methods.
The brickworks manufactured four million red bricks specifically for the construction of Parliament House between 1923 and 1929.
Walter Burley Griffin designed the original brick kilns with shortened chimneys to remain concealed beneath the surrounding pine tree canopy.
