Brief History of Masonry:
Masonry is one of the oldest construction methods in human history, dating back to ancient Mesopotamia, where mud bricks were used to build shelters. Over time, masonry evolved with the use of stone, lime mortar, and later, Portland cement. From the pyramids of Egypt to the historic buildings of Detroit, masonry remains a cornerstone of resilient construction. This workshop continues that legacy—preserving and strengthening what’s already built to last.
