Buy a Brick
Corning has always held a special place in the hearts of families and friends. Honoring loved ones, friends, or even pets with a sponsored brick or bench is a meaningful way to leave a lasting tribute in Corning’s Gaffer District.
These tribute items are seen by thousands of locals and visitors each year as they explore our vibrant and historic downtown. Every dollar raised goes directly toward the upkeep of Centerway Square and the continued enhancement of the Gaffer District experience.
All wording on tribute items must be family-friendly and is subject to size limitations, review, and acceptance by Gaffer District staff.
Corning’s Gaffer District invites you to share a piece of your family’s story with the community. Celebrate the important people, milestones, or organizations in your life with a personalized, engraved brick. These bricks are installed among other paver bricks in Centerway Square and become a part of downtown Corning forever.

-
Honor or remember a special person or group
-
Commemorate a meaningful occasion
-
Showcase your business or organization
