Saving Historic Tiles from Demolition

We are trying to reach more homeowners every day, but we are more urgently trying to beat those bulldozers.

Efforts to Save Century-Old Tiles from Destruction

Many of these tiles are considered irreplaceable pieces of history, carrying with them stories of the past and exceptional craftsmanship that is rarely seen in today’s mass-produced world. Save the Tiles is working diligently to identify and recover these valuable tiles before they are lost forever to demolition and development. The group feels a sense of urgency to preserve this cultural heritage, as each tile saved is seen as a small victory against the erasure of history.

Efforts to Save Valuable Century-Old Tiles

In their mission, the team has been tirelessly coordinating with local authorities and historical societies to gain access to damaged properties. Their goal is not only to preserve these artful remnants but also to respect the historical narratives they hold. Every tile salvaged is a piece of history saved from being lost forever, and each retrieval is a victory against the encroaching machinery that threatens to erase these delicate links to the past.

However, the challenge extends beyond just the physical recovery of these tiles. There is a pressing need to raise awareness about their historical and cultural significance to garner more widespread support for the cause. Many homeowners may not yet realize the hidden value of the tiles that once adorned their homes, both in terms of monetary worth and their irreplaceable connection to the past. Bringing this understanding to the forefront is a significant step in ensuring these precious artifacts are preserved before they are lost forever to further destruction or neglect.

Financial Value of the Century-Old Tiles

In our ongoing effort to preserve these valuable pieces of history, Save the Tiles continues to strive against the clock, aiming to reach as many homeowners as possible before demolition removes these irreplaceable artifacts forever.
