Julia Elma Brewster Brick (August 6, 1819 – February 3, 1902) was an American philanthropist.
In 1895, she donated land and funds for the creation of the Joseph Keasbey Brick Agricultural, Industrial and Normal School in North Carolina, which served Black students from 1895 to 1933.
[1] Brick inherited her manufacturer husband's entire estate at his death in 1867, though his siblings contested the will in court proceedings that lasted for years.
[8] She visited the school annually with her niece, Lydia Benedict, and A. F. Beard, a secretary of the American Missionary Association.
[13] Two of the buildings are now occupied by the Franklinton Center at Bricks, a nonprofit community organization.
