Best example of store front tile in Martinez. Leah's Closet. The architectural tile surround with shield is very reminscent of Gladding McBean in Glazing and clay content. The rest of the tile is California Art Tile Company. The brick work is very much like the Sharkey building, whose brick contractor was Pryce Roberts--and agent for California Art Tile Co. This building was the home of the Gazette, a Dentist's office, and now one of the most affordable and quality consignment shops to be seen anywhere.
