A 1910 trade catalogue from the National Fire Proofing Company of Pittsburgh, promoting hollow-tile construction to builders, architects, and prospective homeowners. Halftone photographs show stucco-faced suburban houses from the street — gables, dormers, porte-cocheres, chimneys, clipped shrubbery and lawns — alongside construction views and tile details useful for period residential silhouettes and masonry textures.
