Pilaster Tilework (1911)
Hartford Faience for Taylor & Levi
J.L. Kesner Co.
695–709 Sixth Ave.
Ladies Mile, New York
Julius, Samuel, Louis, and William Ehrich opened a dry goods store at Eighth Avenue and 24th Street in 1857. They joined other retailers on burgeoning Sixth Avenue in 1889. The store was known for hats and silk goods. To combat falling trade, they introduced a small movie theatre into the store in 1910. But the store bowed to the inevitable and closed in 1911.
The store was bought by Chicago dry good merchant, J.L. Kesner. After some renovations (Note the “K” on tile pilasters), they heavily promoted their new business. But Sixth Avenue was dying, and they were forced to close their doors by 1913.

"Architextures" is a series of composite images. Each image is a mashup of multiple photographs. At least one of the sources is of an architectural subject, anything from closeup walls or windows to broad cityscapes. The added images provide texture or pattern. In some, the architectural forms are preserved and obvious. In others, the pictures become pure abstractions. Yet in all of them, the inherent geometry, angles, lines, and repetitions of the architecture are essential to the geometry and esthetics of the final image. Most of the source images used for this series are already posted in this photostream. The links to the original and source images are listed below.
The Gothic Tileworks images use the same common foundation image used by the Deco Tileworks sets 11 & 12. See pictures from those series for explanations about the basis for these Architexture images. In the Gothic series, the Deco tilework images are combined with other elements.
Gothic Tileworks 13a. Added to the base Deco tile images is a lancet window from a stone cathedral. It is from the Bryn Athyn Cathedral, a facility of the New (Swedenborg) Church, in Bryn Athyn, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, northeast of Philadelphia. (The lancet window image is pending posting to this photostream.) In this image, “Gothic” refers to the historical period and architectural style circa 1100-1500 CE, because the cathedral is built in the Gothic style of basilica plan churches.
Gothic Tileworks 13b. Added to the base Deco tile images is an image of a tree. This is the image used in the Deco Tileworks 12 set to create orange and red coloration. In this case, the image merge used different mathematical operators to preserve the tree branches. In this image, “Gothic” refers to the dark mood of culture and arts that was popularized in 19th century Romanticism.

This gorgeous, reflective bronze tilework is found throughout the stunning Gold Dome building; it's one of my very favorite features of this incredible structure.
Nice sinks!

"Christelijke Voorbereidende School / Luk. 18:16" (St. Luke 18:16: "But Jesus called unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the Kingdom of God").
On a building dating from 1881. The tilework is probably from a later date: a "voorbereidende school" is what later was called a "kleuterschool", but until about 1890 it was called a "bewaarschool" or "kleine kinderbewaarschool". At some point in time this school was called "Piggelmee". It now houses an art gallery and shop.

Inspiration for the name “Deco Tileworks” is in the geometry of the images. Decorative motifs suggestive of 1920’s and 1930’s art meld with rectilinear blocks suggestive of tilework in the public spaces and architecture of that era, such as railway and subway stations, movie theaters, and high rise office buildings. The Deco Tileworks sets all share a common foundation image. That base picture derives from views of the Atlanta, Georgia skyline and its tall buildings (source images and explanatory notes are elsewhere in this photostream). Specifically, there were two original source images, Facets #1a and #2a. These were combined to create Facets #2e, which by itself was reworked into the common core for the Deco Tileworks. Image 11a, the first in this set, is the common foundation image for the rest of the Deco series.
Base images used for the Deco Tileworks series are:

The Architextures 11 series of Deco Tileworks uses no other source images or composition elements. Only the Facets #2e image is present. Variations of texture, color, and form come from mathematical merges and blends, and from simple mirrors and rotations.
The Architextures 12 series of Deco Tileworks continues the basic themes and geometries of the Deco Tileworks 11 series, but it introduces bright colors. Whites and yellows were created with no additional source images or composition elements, just various merges and saturations of the common deco tileworks foundation image. Blues and greens were created by overlays with another of the Atlanta Highview images (blue sky facets v2). Oranges and reds were introduced by overlays with an unrelated non-architectural image (sunset trees & red rock cliffs _ arches national park, utah).

The importance of tilework in Persian architecture arises from two important factors; first the need to weatherproof the simple clay bricks used in construction, and secondly the need to ornament the buildings.The colours used were blue, yellow, turquoise, pink, aubergine and green.

The life of a church is a curious mix of personal meaning, collective experiences, and institutional patterns and habits forming a culture. In the late 1800s the present church building opened for worship, the 4th or 5th since the body of believers in the county seat of Clinton County, Michigan formed the First Congregational Church around the time that the city was named in 1856. In the first years of this hallway, this north-facing entry with its two-sided case of stairs was the main way into the building. The opposite side faced onto the minister's house and was much less formal.
This photo shows some of the artisanal tilework, both durable and expressive at the same time. The chunky style of the woodwork reflects the method and style of the late 1800s, too. After 18 months of pandemic worship services carried on the Zoom video conference platform, at last on June 13, 2021 a hybrid of in-person along with Zoom viewing will be launched. So the months of dust in the photo will have to be polished away once more. At the same time, though, this building is beginning a sale process potentially to the City of St. Johns. Depending on findings of architects and others about the suitability of repurposing the building for office and meeting space, the sale could be completed in early October, by which time the active worshipers in-person and via Zoom will decamp to a smaller space to carry forward the traditions of the faith community, caring for each other and reaching out to the community, as well.
