LUDOWICI COLLEGIATE ARCHITECTURAL TERRA COTTA inspiration & resources THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY Matt Simmons Photography

Ludowici’s legacy of terra cotta craftsmanship began nearly 400 years ago in Rome when the Ludovisi family became known for their expertly crafted roof tile. As demand grew for their tile, the family moved to Germany and began producing tile under the Germanized name Ludowici. In the late 1800s, Carl Ludowici, looking to expand his family’s business into the new world, moved to Chicago, Illinois and an American tradition was born.

Rebuilding after the Great Fire of 1871, Chicago quickly grew into a technological hub for new building and manufacturing techniques. The skyscraper, elevator and modernized manufacturing facilities were all born of the rebuilding boom. Carl Ludowici saw the opportunity that the upcoming World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago afforded and quickly formed the Ludowici Roofing Tile Company in 1893 with Henry W. King and Cyrus I. McCormick. The first Ludowici manufacturing facility was built in Chicago Heights, Illinois. The plant produced tile for the exposition and continued to grow and prosper...

The early 20th century was fraught with challenges. Plant fires, a stagnating economy and the resulting Great Depression forced Ludowici-Celadon to adapt through plant consolidations and product diversification. By World War II, Ludowici-Celadon had just two operational facilities on line, including the New Lexington, Ohio plant, now the country’s largest clay tile manufacturing facility. As the war escalated and nearly all construction ceased, the factory shifted gears. Employing about 200 women, the factory converted to a decorative pottery plant producing hand decorated cookie jars, pottery and...
