The house that Ruth built?

Actually it may be the house that Mr. Goldrick built!  I just found out that bricks made at the property I live at were used to build Yankee Stadium!  Kingston was once several different brick companies along the Hudson river.  I live in Mr. Goldricks home and this once was one of the biggest brick companies in New York.  I just found an online NY Times page that is selling bricks from the old Yankee Stadium that was torn down...

I have these bricks all over my property!  There was also once a church for the workers here, and my neighbors found what used to be the shoe store for the workers just down the hill in my woods!
Pretty cool!
