Old St. Peter’s Landmark Preservation, Inc. newsletter, Summer 1995

“Over 22 years after Nicky Tom’s article in the Dalles Chronicle and the Landmark is still going… and work began the first of September on a new roof. Five layers of scaffolding have been constructed to reach the roofline. The shingles, made in Canada, will be as close to the original shape and gray color as possible and are supposed to last 75 to 100 years. The great-grandchildren can worry about he next roof! The project is expected to be completed in two to three weeks. CC&L Roofing Co. is the outfit installing the roof and came recommended by several businesses and Reed College.”

Using foreign tile, by Ambika Puniani Bailey

“According to Frank Lawson Jr. president of The Lawson Roofing Co. Inc, San Francisco, owners often want a specific type of tile, perhaps to remind them of a certain place or vacation.

Dan Cornwell, president of CC&L Roofing Co., Portland, Ore., agrees: ‘Often, owners who have traveled aboard and admired the architecture they have seen during their travels will want to build or remodel a home or business to resemble a certain architectural style. Some common requests are for a Japanese garden environment, Italian villa, French country home or English cottage.’

To fulfill customers' requests, contractors often are forced to seek foreign suppliers because domestic tile companies don't offer tile that would be appropriate for a Japanese teahouse, for example. In addition, Cornwell says some European tile manufacturers produce custom tiles unavailable in the U.S., such as air vent tiles and flue pipe exhaust tiles, among others.

But Cornwell points out if a domestic company produces a tile similar to what a customer requests, such as a German-style tile, he will use the domestic product. And using domestic producers whenever possible is beneficial to the customer, who won't see additional price increases as a result of shipping costs and levies.

‘If we domestically manufacture a style of tile similar in appearance and composition to a foreign tile, the domestic tile generally will be less expensive,’ Cornwell says. ‘That is because shipping costs generally are lower domestically. However, in some cases, moving roof tile by truck across the country can be just as expensive as moving tile by ship overseas. It all depends on location and distance.’”
