away all existing mortar before selling us
more than 3,000 vintage PBY bricks.
ACC: How are the old bricks used?
CC: The old handmade brick is a hot item
among contractors for restoring historic
houses and commercial projects. When
there are not enough old bricks,
contractors get crafty and cut them in half
to complete the project with that historic
feel.
ACC: Have there been renovations where
PBY revisits a project from its past?
CC: Yes, the Franklin Police and Fire
High school located at  17th Avenue  and
McDowell Road in Phoenix as well as
numerous houses in central Phoenix. The
new manufacturer has done an excellent
job in duplicating the existing colors.
ACC: Who is next in line to carry on the
Campbell legacy?
