Catalina tile
Every building in Catalina is decorated with beautiful hand-gazed tiles. These tiles were made from 1927 to 1937 in a factory set up by William Wrigley to a) use the island's clay deposits and b) give the islanders employment. They are now collectors pieces.
Note (see comment below): this tile is actually a beautiful modern reproduction from RTK Studios.
