 Saint Petersburg, Florida has more surviving brick streets than almost any city in America. But what is the story of the brick roads of Saint Petersburg? And why is almost every brick stamped with the name AUGUSTA BLOCK?

Join us for a screening of Brick Roads followed by a conversation between PTB Executive Director Manny Leto and Co-Director and Producer Polita Glynn. This short film explores the City’s brick roads, showing the miles of original brick streets, the loss of those roads as they were paved over with asphalt and the preservation work of the City of St. Petersburg to protect these iconic traditional roadways. 

The Brick Roads project received grant support from the City of St. Petersburg.
