Some of the most impressive finds in our South Lot don’t look like much at first glance. Stacked on pallets near the back fence sits a piece of American architectural history: roughly 5,000 vintage clay roof tiles stamped “Ludowici Celadon Co. Chicago.”
For more than a century, Ludowici has been one of the most respected names in clay roof tile. Its tiles top historic homes, churches and campuses across the country, including the Tudor-style buildings at Principia College in Elsah, Illinois. Designed by architect Bernard Maybeck in the 1930s, those buildings are being restored with Ludowici tile to preserve their original character. It’s the kind of roof that gives a house its personality, and the kind of material that’s meant to last for generations.
| | Each tile measures approximately 8.5" wide x 11" long and features an interlocking design with a weathered, textured face in deep reddish-brown tones. They’re a natural fit for Tudor-style homes, historic restorations and anyone who wants the look of a classic clay roof without paying new-material prices. | That coverage estimate assumes about 125 tiles per roofing “square” (100 sq ft). That’s roughly 40 squares, enough to roof a moderately sized home with spares left over for future repairs. At that rate, you’re looking at about $12.50 per square, a tiny fraction of what new clay tile typically costs. | | |
By the numbers:
• Approximately 5,000 tiles across 25 pallets
• About 200 per pallet
• Just 10¢ per tile, or about $20 per pallet
• About $500 for the entire lot
• Can cover an estimated 4,000 sq ft of roof
| | |
Not re-roofing a house? These tiles have plenty of range beyond the rooftop. Use them for garden borders, walkway accents, outdoor art projects or patching an existing clay tile roof.
Tile counts are estimates, so we encourage you to come take a look and count for yourself, or give us a call at (513) 475-6783 with any questions. Bring your truck, your project plans and a little imagination.
