Whitemans Brick

Whitemans Brick was a brick manufacturing company in Middle Swan in Western Australia.

It was a company owned by Lou Whiteman, after whom Whiteman Park is named.[1]

The land on which the operations were located were expanded in the 1920s.[2] It was also notable in early usage of trucking materials due to shortage of railway facilities.[3]

It was notable due to its large kilns.[4]

It was taken over by Midland Brick in 1985.
