American Flag Made From Masonry Products
July 24, 2007
When Charlie Wilson, owner of R.L. Wilson Masonry of Owensboro (KY) built a new storage facility at his office, he went above and beyond the call of duty for masonry contractors.
Not only did he build in out of masonry materials, he installed an American flag in the wall, using painted splitface masonry units, glazed masonry units and good ‘ol fashioned ingenuity.
Natural grey and Camelia red lightweight concrete splitface units were used, along with Lehigh’s natural grey mortar.
Here’s a closeup of the red splitface units and you can click on any of the photos to enlarge them to a full-screen view.
The local Owensboro location of Lee Brick and Block provided the masonry materials and wishes to thank R.L. Wilson Masonry for not only using masonry to build their new facility, but for the tremendous gesture towards our great country.
