Sioux City Brick Charleston Wellington Used In Greenville, KY
March 9, 2007
Back in 2004, the school corporation in Greenville (KY) demolished and then started to rebuild the Greenville Elementary School.
The design team at RBS Design Group, located in Owensboro (KY) was put in charge of this 67,000 SF project.
In 2005, this project was completed under the watchful eye of David Construction, of Louisville, performing the duties of General Contractor.
The masonry contractor, Clyde Knight Masonry of Lewisburg (KY) was instrumental in making this project a success. His fine work with the Charleston Wellington face brick, manufactured by Sioux City Brick and supplied by the Hopkinsville (KY) location of Lee Brick and Block is the first thing you notice when you come up the drive.
The cast stone units you see used as a sill between the two different brick and as the window surround are from Rockcast, also supplied exclusively in Kentucky by Lee Brick and Block locations.
