Does anyone happen to know of a project now or coming up that might be able to use vintage LA Pressed Brick Company clay S-tiles circa 1920's? They were removed from a Spanish cottage credited as designed by Myron Hunt near Pasadena, originally covering about 6000 square feet. In the interest of preservation I would like to see these recycled into a new installation. After some breakage during removal and stacking on pallets (30 or so), the amount available and approximate specifications are as follows (pictures attached):
Approx Weight
Type Squares Pcs/Sq Size Exposure per Tile
S 64 ~150 14” x 11” 11” 6.2 lbs.
Baby S 16 ~200 12” x 9.5” 10” 4.5 lbs.
Rakes and ridges ~360 indiv pcs
I would appreciate any tips or advice on how to identify a suitable re-use for these in Southern California. Please contact me by phone (818) 720-9420 or email sheilahollandarat@yahoo.com
Thank you,
Sheila
