The dull green, Straight Barrel Mission Clay tiles on this (circa 1889) building would simply be nearly irreplaceable today … notice the bugle hips, certainly a rarity. After much searching precious replacement tiles were obtained from The Tile Man and the rest were cautiously removed, sorted as to roof position, properly stacked and securely stored. |
  Then the decking was replaced and the rafters were rebuilt. When all underneath was secure, the tile was re-installed. The roof is once again exactly as it was meant to be … simply a magnificently preserved rooftop adorning a beautiful historic structure. |
