[edit] History

In 1914, Bricklayers joined the Association Football League of Chicago. According to Dave Litterer, “the ALFC welcomed one of the major regional powers to its ranks - the Bricklayers”.^[1] This implies that Bricklayers had been in existence prior to entry into the league. However, there is no documentation on the leagues or results before 1914. At some point, Bricklayers jumped to the Illinois State Football Association League, winning the 1917-1918 championship. In 1920, Bricklayers was in the Chicago and District Soccer League, better known as the Chicago Soccer League. Bricklayers won the 1921 CSL championship. Bricklayers continued to compete until 1947 when it folded.
