From Williamstown to Boston and everywhere in between, brick structures are a common sight throughout Massachusetts. From town halls and universities to everyday homes and businesses, bricks have been a top building material of choice dating back to the colonial times. You’ll even find them lining the streets in parts of Salem or Boston. Brick is not only durable, it also exudes a historical presence felt throughout the state. In Massachusetts, history is so intertwined with modern life that you could be enjoying lobster rolls, clam chowder, or Boston crème pie in the same building where patriots once met to plan the American Revolution.

In this design, simple stitches and just-right colors turn your entire hat into a classic brick building with a slate roof. Optional lantern shaped charms add an extra historical touch while French knot flowers add a bit of spring or summer color.
