No. These are bricks that were reclaimed from an old building. A lot of brick suppliers have sources that reclaim, clean, and package old bricks so they can be sold. Reclaimed bricks typically cost two to three times more than manufactured bricks. This particular color and style of brick is referred to as Old St. Louis due to it being typical of the bricks historically used in the city of St. Louis. Most reclaimed bricks are named in a similar fashion.
