New York Subway Whitehall Tile

Originally known as Peter Stuyvesant's Great House, or townhouse, this handsome white stone building became New York's Government House and acquired the name "Whitehall". It is not clear which artist designed this plaque, but the view of the house as well as the placement of trees, ships and hills suggest that it was copied from one of Hollyer's Old New York views.

Images of the ceramic mosaics and plaques of the New York subways are chemically imbedded into our tiles. This process makes it possible to capture the detail and color of these pieces despite the decades of accumulated grime and muted subway lighting. We couldn't climb up and wash the panels, but properly lighted and photographed, they do come alive!

Decorative, high-glaze ceramic tile with metal hanger on back.
