Geocache Description:

Terra Cotta Eagle



We drove through Clayton when we spotted the Terra Cotta Eagle.
We were really surprised by the fact there wasn't already a geo-cache here.
We of course had to correct this and place one.

100 years ago the little town of Clayton was home to a large brick and terra cotta factory, the Washington Brick & Lime Co. One of the more notable pieces to have come out of that factory was this large eagle, originally made for the Washington National Guard in 1920 and mounted atop the State Armory in Spokane. Moved twice, it was finally returned home to Clayton (short for Clay Town) in 2010 by the Clayton and Deer Park Historical Society.

Congratulations to Swiss Cheese Brain for being First to Find!!
