Adobe Brick Form in the Castolon Visitor's Center

Adobe Brick Form in the Castolon Visitor's Center

This wooden frame was used to produce adobe bricks. A thick mud mixture was pushed into the form. When the adobe mixture was firm enough to be handled, it was removed from the form and allowed to dry in the sun. Adobe construction was common in the American southwest.
