Historic Roof Tiles

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 [email protected]

Thank you,
Sheila
