A view to the south showing several structures on the National Brick Company property near Kedzie and Touhy avenues in Chicago on July 6, 1907. This property was near the path of the planned North Shore Channel, for which the Sanitary District (now MWRD) began construction in 1907 and completed in 1910.

I included the gasometer that was south of the brickyard because I like finding them. https://clearinghouse.isgs.illinois.edu/webdocs/ilhap/county/data/cook/flight6/0bwq07041.jpg
Bill Meyer: That airplane directional message was pointing toward what was then Sky Harbor airport in Shermerville, that would become today's Northbrook. Airport long gone...

I first found this clay pit. But then I realized that it is south of Oakton instead of Touhy and close to the O'Brien WRP. The railroad that went over the North Channel was the C&NW Weber Branch.

I presume the Oakton brickyard was the one owned by Barney F. Weber as mentioned in the following comment.

The Weber Branch derived its name from Barney F. Weber who owned a brickyard. He founded the Chicago & West Ridge Railroad, that consisted of track but no rolling stock. It was operated under agreement by the C&NW, but was not part of the Mayfair Cutoff. It connected with the C&NW at Weber Yard. So Mr. Weber's name somehow become associated with the yard and the branch line. Information from the Rogers Park Historical Society newsletter "The Historian".
