Many are not aware of this case, but it has its own Wikipedia page so must be of some interest.

It's an early interpretation of regulatory zoning that has some pride of place in law school discussions of property law.

"unlawful for any person to establish or operate a brickyard or brick kiln, or any establishment, factory, or place for the manufacture or burning of brick within described limits in the city"

The law was upheld as a legitimate police power regulation.
