Inscription. The tiles surrounding the entry door and on the planters in the courtyard are examples produced by Malibu Potteries. The company had been established in 1926 by Mrs. Adamson's mother, May K. Rindge.

The 1920's was the golden age of tile making in California with dozens of companies producing decorative tile. Malibu Potteries is considered by many to have produced the finest work of that era. Unfortunately, the Great Depression and a fire forced its closure in 1932.
