Before I explain why I am writing about bricks, allow me to provide a short history.

One Fishers restaurant my wife Jane & I enjoyed visiting was the Nickel Plate Bar & Grill located in downtown Fishers, on 116th Street, not far from the municipal complex.  When redevelopment came to that area, Mayor Scott Fadness initially told me his intention was to keep that building, that had been named a number of ways over the years but was a part of the city’s history, remodeled and saved as part of our history.

A few months later, Mayor Fadness told me the engineers had inspected the old restaurant building and found it could not be saved and had to be torn down.

Once that happened, some local members of the Fishers community interested in the history of our city decided to recover bricks from that historic structure once the demolition had begun.

Now, these old bricks are being offered for sale to local residents with the proceeds going to Fishers nonprofit organizations.

The campaign is named “Bricks for Good.”

The supply of bricks is limited so if you are interested in buying an historic Fishers brick, do not wait.  Buy your brick at this link.
