Photograph dated August 25, 1958. In 1927, after many years of brick making experience and the investment capital from an oil strike on family property, Robert Higgins started his own brick company. The first Higgins Brick & Tile Company plant was located in Gardena (2217 W. 17th St.) and another plant was started in Torrance a few years later. Around 1944, Robert passed the growing company business on to his two sons, Bob and Walt Higgins, both of whom had spent their entire lives working in the brick business helping their father produce and sell the bricks. Growing demand dictated that the company continue to grow to meet the needs of an ever expanding construction industry.
