| Notes | This small manuscript, The Aloha Boathouse and the Iris Bathroom: Two Installations by Grueby Faience and Tile Company, contains two essays by Susan J. Montgomery and more than seventy- ve full-color illustrations of two reconstructed Grueby tile installations and their history. Arthur Curtiss James built the boathouse Aloha Landing in 1912 at his Newport, Rhode Island, estate, with the ceramic tile oor as the focal point. Created by the Boston-based Grueby Faience and Tile Company, the oor featured tile pieces that depicted James's yacht, the Aloha, as well as eighteen other sailing ships. Grueby's shop, which operated between 1891 to 1919, was famous for its faience, or glazed terra-cotta, as well as its tile work. The company built major residential and commercial installations, but only a handful of these projects have survived. ISBN: 978-0-615-81566-4 |
