Why are there so many brick homes in South Hadley and Chicopee, MA?

Western  Massachusetts just got walloped with two big snow storms and most of us are snowed in.  While working from home today I asked on Twitter if there was anything real estate related that my Western Massachusetts friends would like me to write about. I got this question from Karen Lynn @sipclipandgo on Twitter, who owns a 1953 brick home in the area:

I’d like to know why there are so many brick homes in South Hadley and Chicopee.

So, I embarked on some good old fashioned research on Google and discovered a few clues, but not as much information as I would have thought.

I suspected that there must have been a local brickyard and after quite a lot of digging around I found that South Hadley was home to Robinson’s Brickyard.  Interestingly, there isn’t much information available on this business, at least that I could find.

What I did discover, though, was that the heyday of this brickyard was in the late 1800’s and the brick homes that are in question were built largely in the 1950’s.

So, I turn this question over to you…

Do you know why brick construction is so prevalent in South Hadley and Chicopee, MA?  Inquiring minds want to know!
