Anchorage Town Square Brick Search

Did you or your family buy an engraved brick at Anchorage’s Town Square Park in 1992–93? The park is being rebuilt, and the Municipality is returning the bricks to their owners - in person, through October 10, 2026. Search below to see if your brick is waiting at the pickup site. (Anchorage Daily News story · Sept. 30 update: over 60% of bricks still await their owners · official pickup page)

About 100 bricks are at City Hall, not the main pick-up site. Their search results show a gold Pick up at City Hall badge. Pick them up at City Hall, Suite 630, Monday–Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., through October 9, 2026 - details under “City Hall Bricks ONLY” below.

About this search - a Code for Anchorage volunteer project

This is a volunteer project of Code for Anchorage - an extra tool to help you find your brick, alongside the Municipality’s official pickup process. Parks & Recreation employees and volunteers photographed every brick on every pallet at the pickup site, and volunteers used text-reading (OCR) scripts to match the photos to the official brick lists. It is not an official Municipality record: some bricks were not readable in their photos and some photos matched no list row, so a brick that does not appear as found here may still be at the pickup site. If that happens, the best way to look for it is to browse Parks & Recreation’s Flickr photo albums - one album per pallet - and see if the brick is there (the section-to-pallet list below says which albums to check). Unfortunately, some bricks did not survive the move.

Brick Search Tool - Quick Guide

If your result shows no photo:
- The brick is still in the official records, but its photo was not matched.
- It may still be on a pallet. Bricks can be too worn to read or hard to match.
- Check your section’s Flickr pallet albums. If it’s not in the albums, it is not at the pickup site.
- Which albums hold each section’s bricks: A → A · B → B · C → C · D → D · E → E · F → F1, F2, F3, H2 · G → G · H → H1, H3, H4, H5, H6 · I → I · J → J · K → K (a few strays landed on other pallets, so the search result’s gold badge is always the surest answer).
“Unofficial” result:
- The brick was found at the pickup site but is missing from the official lists.
- It can still be claimed.
needs verification:
- Two official lists disagree about this brick.
no brick made the official list:
- The purchase is recorded, but no brick was ever engraved.

To search: type the name, words you remember, or the original brick number. Exact spelling is not required.
If you have the original number, enter it. Some bricks have two numbers due to the 2009 move. The original number is highlighted on each result.
Badges in the results:
- Gold Pickup pallet badge = which pallet it is on now.
- Dark Park section badge = where the brick was in Town Square.
- at pickup site chip = the brick was photographed and is on that pallet.
- Gold Pick up at City Hall badge = the brick is at City Hall, not on a pallet - see “City Hall Bricks ONLY” below.
To see a brick photo: click show me a picture of the brick 📷. If the photo does not load, the text record is still correct.
If not found: try fewer words or just the last name. If still missing, check your section’s Flickr albums before visiting.

Picking it up

Where and when: 2839 Mountain View Dr - generally Mondays & Thursdays 10 AM–2 PM and Saturdays 10 AM–12 PM, through October 10, 2026 (exact dates on the official pickup page). In person only; shipping is not available. It is a hands-on, come-find-your-brick experience - the pallet badge on your search result is where to start looking. Parking is limited; carpooling is encouraged.
One form to fill out: every claimant completes the Municipality’s online attestation form - no printing needed.
After October 10, 2026 bricks are no longer individually tracked. Unclaimed bricks may be repurposed, donated to historical organizations, or disposed of.

City Hall Bricks ONLY

The last day to pick up your City Hall brick(s) is October 9, 2026. Please don’t wait. If you cannot come in person, you may send someone to pick up the brick(s) for you.

They are available at City Hall, Suite 630, Monday–Friday (excluding Municipal holidays) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Free parking is available during this time in the City Hall lot off 7th Avenue.

The Parks and Recreation office is in Suite 630, immediately to your right as you exit the elevator on the 6th floor. Please bring a bag for your brick(s), as they may still have some residual dirt on them.

After 3pm on October 9th, all City Hall bricks will be transferred to the main brick pick-up site. They can be picked up on the last pick-up day, Saturday, October 10th, with the rest of the bricks at the main pick-up site from 10 am – 12 pm.

Common questions

Can someone pick it up for me? Yes - a designated representative can claim it for you. There is no separate paperwork to designate them: they simply complete the same attestation form (online) on your behalf.
The buyer has passed away? Family claims like this are exactly what the pickup is for. Fill out the online attestation form, find which pallet the brick is on, and come find it on a pickup day - email parkvolunteers@anchorageak.gov if you are unsure how to fill out the form.
Will ID be checked? No, the attestation form is how claims are recorded.
Questions this page can’t answer? Check the FAQs on the official Commemorative Brick Return page; if you still have questions, email parkvolunteers@anchorageak.gov.
