But this is the biggest find: an original, “old style” tile dating to the early-mid 1990s! Only about a dozen or so old style tiles (i.e., those which date between c. 1985 and 2001 and use the original artistic style and laying method) are known to survive, so discovering a new one felt like a very big find. This is on N. Franklin Ave. and Ventnor Ave. in Ventnor City, NJ, half a block from the Frontenac tile, which I would guess is a good 15-20 years older. Photo: C. Smith/R. O’Shea.
