The Scioto Fire Brick Company, incorporated in 1872 with John Peebles as president, was in Sciotoville a few miles up the Ohio River from Portsmouth. This mammoth 13 acre plant, between the river and the railroad, had an almost inexhaustible mine of raw material. It produced Fire Brick, Clay In-walls and Hearths for blast furnaces, tiles of all sizes, Arch, Key and Wedge, Circular and Split Brick from the very best Scioto Clay. --from the Portsmouth Blade Industrial Edition, 1898
The Portsmouth Fire Brick Company was actually located at the corner of Gallia and Campbell, the later site of Harbinson-Walker Refactories.
