Brick production was in underway in Stawell from at least 1909 when Thomas Taylor Senior became General Manager of the Stawell Brickworks. His son, Thomas Taylor Jnr, took over on his retirement, who in turn trained Jack Krause in the years between the Great Depression, and World War II. At the conclusion of the war, Jack returned Stawell and established himself as a local artisan brick maker forming Krause Bricks.
The company is today known for its extra long Emporer Bricks.
