2016- "August W. Schoengarth operated the only brick factory in Neillsville, located west of his home, which is now Tock Field. If you look carefully, you'll notice Tock Field is at a much lower level compared to adjacent Park Street, as this was the land used to obtain the clay for Schoengarth's brick business. Many of the buildings on Hewett Street have an inner core made from bricks manufactured at Schoegarth's brick factory. The house was built with a solid brick wall across the upper floor of this home, which divided the maid's quarters from the dormitory where the workers from the brick factory stayed."
