Historical information
The terracotta tile may have been part of a verandah or flooring, common in 19th and early 20th-century buildings.
Such tiles were used in public buildings, homes, and businesses due to their durability and aesthetic appeal.
Physical description
Three fragments of terracotta tiles, reddish-brown in color.
The pieces have irregular edges, indicating they are broken from a larger tile.
Each fragment is flat with a slightly rough texture on one side and a smoother, more finished surface on the other.
Some of the fragments have worn edges and small chips, suggesting age and long-term exposure.
