Guignard Brick Works, Industrial heritage site in Cayce, South Carolina.
The Guignard Brick Works complex features four circular brick beehive kilns, a historic office building, and industrial remnants spread across 3.5 acres.
The Guignard family established brick production at this location in 1801, utilizing clay deposits from the Congaree River banks for manufacturing construction materials.
The facility produced bricks used in numerous significant structures, including the South Carolina State House interior and multiple textile mills in Columbia.
Three of the existing kilns date from 1920, while the fourth kiln was constructed in 1932 following a fire that destroyed its predecessor.
The brick works demonstrates the evolution of industrial firing methods, transitioning from wood to coal and later to gas throughout its operational history.
