Paducah’s Finest Hotel
by Joseph A. Taylor
Located strategically in western Kentucky where the Tennessee River joins the Ohio, Paducah was also favored by the Illinois Central Railroad that established its repair shops there. By the turn of the 20th century, prosperity had begun to take hold with the city’s population approaching 20,000. Being the seat of McCracken County, Paducah experienced considerable growth during the 1920s, enough to inspire major local investments.

Tile Heritage - A Review of American Tile History Vol X No.2, has been printed and distributed to members and friends of the Foundation around the country, and to some extent, abroad ( where mailing is currently, safely possible.) You may already have received a copy in your own mailbox - we hope so!
TH Review is one of the best, fundamental tools that the Foundation produces that reflects the core of its ongoing mission. Its production is underwritten by Sponsors, Members, Advocates, Supporters and the public at large. We are very appreciative of the voluntary writing of the current contributing tile historians, Michael Sims and Victoria Jenssen, and the editorial skill, love and care at the heart of the publication and at the heart of Tile Heritage.
If you would like to purchase a copy, $12 post paid, please use this PAYPAL LINK to do so. Please provide your USPS mailing address in the Paypal notes area.

To safe-keep everyone during this COVID-19 pandemic COVERINGS'20 has been CANCELLED!
Click on the image below for full details.
In halting an event of this magnitude in mid-stride, the owners and board members of the International Tile Exposition as well as the managers of the show, Taffy Event Strategies, have met the global challenge head-on. We'll all miss experiencing the latest tiles and stone from around the world, meeting up with industry friends, supporters and colleagues, the wide array of tile education opportunities as well as honoring amazing tile and stone installations in the Awards Programs. We look forward to Coverings 2021 in Orlando, FL.
MISSION IN PLACE! Tile Heritage Foundation Staff and Volunteers are "safe & sound" at the moment. THF offices and library are on the property of Sheila Menzies & Joe Taylor - so they always 'work from home'... We've been able to plan for some staff tasks and archiving projects to be handled remotely off-site - keeping many aspects of what we do running smoothly with everyone's health and safety as the highest priority
