Is a ceramics company located in. It is one of the oldest companies in California, a pioneer in ceramics technology, and a company which has “contributed immeasurably” to the state’s industrialization. During the heyday of architectural terra cotta, the company dominated the industry in California and the Far West. He came to California in 1874 looking for new business opportunities. [4] While in California, he read an article in a San Francisco newspaper about a large clay deposit near the town of Lincoln, California. Investigating, Gladding verified that it was an “unusually fine deposit of white kaolin clay” located close to a railroad line and selected the spot as the site for a new business. Gladding, along with Peter McGill McBean and George Chambers, established Gladding-McBean in 1875. Its original product was clay sewer pipe. Peter McBean became president of the company after Charles Gladding’s death in 1894, and his son Athol McBean later served as chairman of the board. From its base in clay sewer pipe and terra cotta, the company expanded into brick production and then branched out to dinnerware in the 1930s, with its Franciscan and Catalina lines. ” That year, a spokesman for the company “cited research in oxides and other rare earths as providing a solution to the high heat, speed and radiation problems of the space age, ” and identified the company’s bestselling products at that time as “dinnerware, tile, refractories, face brick, clay pipe and conduit, and technical ceramics. The company now identifies its main products as clay roof tile, piazza floor tile, chimney tops and caps, terra cotta, garden pottery and clay sewer pipe. The California State Library now holds the company’s job files from 1888 to 1966, documenting the use of its products to decorate thousands of buildings, including most major structures on the campus of Stanford University. The red roof tiles and architectural terra cotta details helped achieve the distinctive Spanish Colonial Revival style so common to coastal California. While many of the buildings throughout the west coast have been demolished, such as the Richfield Tower in Los Angeles, beautiful examples remain, including San Diego’s Spreckels Theater and the Ventura County Courthouse.
