Two different fireplaces, in two very different homes and neighborhoods. See Cal. Art. Co. catalogue pages below. The 1912 home (fireplace put in later) very large and grand; 1929 home, small, Spanish eclectic built as an adjunct to a store. Begun in 1923 and ending in the late 1960's, California Art Tile is a very revered ceramics company. The tiles are worth surprising sums money.

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.
