These are examples of buildings with Spanish Tile only. Many entry way and decorative tile buildings have this roof as well. We also have terra cotta sewers.


5 different tiles on building originally morturary in 1927. The peacock tile is definitely from Cal. Art Tile Co. The blue, patterned tile is from Tunisia. Also shown 3 samples, courtesy Riley Doty, which date from 1920s. The style of finish & reverse sides between illustrate differences found in Tunisian tiles of the period. All Tunisian tiles glazed fronts contain 3 little scars in the glaze,forming an equilateral triangle. These uniquely identify tiles from Tunisia as they were glazed on stacked tripods.
