Pam, I would also love the list of companies that still produce the concrete screen blocks. I live in Southeast PA, but have been unable to find anyone in the Northeast US that still makes these. We would love to use them in our ranch!

Thanks so much for any help!!

Have a home built in the 70’s with a decorative block wall, flower pattern. Am wanting to add on to the wall and build another. Could I please have a list of companies that make those concrete blocks as I haven’t been able to find anyone. Thank you.

Pam,

Do you have that list of companies around the us that sell decorative block ?

I live in seattle and am looking for a small amount (like today…) and am coming up empty handed!

Thanks for your help

You’re welcome, Christine — I forgot to include another Flickr group called “Perforated Screen Walls” http://www.flickr.com/groups/891254@N23/pool/ The Flickr groups get pretty specific, don’t they?

Thomas, what is the name of the concrete company where you live? Reader Scathing Jane has done research and sent me a list of companies around the U.S. that still sell decorative concrete block, and I will make sure this one is on it…. Many thanks, Pam

We have a concrete company here in the city where I live (Russellville, Arkansas) who still makes them in every pattern you see on that site. I have a MCM house (one of only 2 in town) and we are getting ready to fence the back yard and pool area with them.

The photos that I sent in a few months ago of El Rancho Vista Estates and some of the other MCM homes in Palm Springs shows these blocks in use … in abundance!

I’m not normally a huge fan of mid-century architecture — I can take it or leave it — but I think these are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for posting the Flickr group link, Gretchen.

I’m in love with these! There is a Flickr group dedicated to them: http://www.flickr.com/groups/795044@N23/

I have been looking at these quite a bit the last few months, everywhere I go, and trying to figure out how to incorporate some into landscape. I haven’t found them for sale anywhere yet here in the central valley.
