 Overview
 Description
Most of the site has been torn down since 2009. Now being turned into a campsite by the Regional Parks. Only building accessible is a steel framed building, but thats it. There are some abandoned docks down at the water, which are interesting to check out. Its a nice site to photograph if you're in the area.

     History
    Home of Port Costa Brick Works. Build in 1905, brick production ceased in 1962 and the facility was used for various other things afterwards. Today it seems the parks service is using a few of the buildings, but the rest are just left sitting. Possible mining and narrow gauge remnants on the south side of Carquinez Scenic. Can't verify that yet cause I haven't hiked around over there yet.
