Found in Winnick House: C.W. Post’s Texan Bricks

During the renovation of the Winnick House Administration Building on the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University in Brookville, New York, contractors found bricks emblazoned with the letters P-O-S-T. It’s no coincidence: they were made in Post, Texas, a city founded in 1907 by Charles W. Post himself. His daughter, Marjorie Merriweather Post, used Post bricks for renovations to her Brookville house, which eventually became the administrative center of the C.W. Post Campus.
