I reckon earlier on in the 1800s they'd be sourcing more local building materials since hauling bricks via teamsters all the way from Seguin would be arduous and costly. With the advent of railroads I'm sure the Seguin bricks proliferated a bit later. <br />I have seen Seguin bricks all over the place,pretty cool.
