This area of the building was where the water tank was kept which probably fed to the brick making process by gravity.

The series
Box Hill Brickworks
Box Hill Brickworks ran intermittently for almost a century at the corner of Elgar and Canterbury Roads in Box Hill, east Melbourne. The Haughton Park Brick Company Ltd issued its prospectus in 1884 to make machine and hand-made bricks, tiles, earthenware, and porcelain on a 30-acre site, and renamed itself the Box Hill Brick Co Ltd in 1886. The 1890s industry collapse forced production to suspend in 1892. Standard Brickworks reopened the kilns in the mid-1910s. The Co-operative Brick Company took over in 1938. Wartime conditions closed the works between 1942 and 1946. Production resumed and continued until 1988, when the works were finally abandoned. The site is on the Victorian Heritage Database (place 154). Almost every interior surface has accumulated graffiti since the 1988 closure.
