Mexico was one of the largest brick and clay tile manufacturers in Missouri behind St Louis. I was told that St Louis clay tiles were solid green, and Mexico green tiles were multi colored, but I can't verify that info
Went to the St Louis Art Museum this weekend! Some of my favorite pieces here:
Bentwood Spiral, Gebrรผder Thonet, 1885;
Swing Low Sweet Chariot, John McCrady, 1937;
Chair, Austria, c. 1820;
Madinat as-Salam III, Frank Stella, 1971
