Latin Accents Commercial Installation Photo Gallery
The Merced Theatre was built in 1931, during the great age of grand movie houses, to seat 1,645 customers in air-conditioned comfort, in a dreamy exotic setting. Designed by San Francisco architects Reid Brothers (who also designed the Hotel del Coronado near San Diego) in a Latin, California Revival style, the interior of the Merced Theatre evoked strolling through a quaint Spanish village from a past century. Over the years, the unique interior was gutted to make way for a four-plex cinema, and eventually, the theater was closed. Beginning in 2007, a rehabilitation plan was begun to return the theater to its former glory. Latin Accents was chosen to recreate that portion of the 80-year-old historic Hispano Maresque Company tiles that had been too heavily damaged over time to be included in the renovation. The theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2009.
In each of the photos above, the original 80-year-old tiles that could be preserved are on the left. The Latin accent reproductions are on the right. An effort to conserve the past and maintain a tight budget succeeded for the theater renovators.
Below is the Latin Accents Commercial Installation Photo Gallery of sites across the U.S. showing renovated theaters, commercial buildings exteriors, and public parks and fountains.

The durability of porcelain makes our products commercial-grade for exterior, non-flooring uses. Hotel pools, decorations on the exterior of commercial buildings, restaurants, and hotel guest bathrooms have been common applications.
ABOUT
Tile Presentation
Creating new glaze colors is chemistry – it is not like combining pigments to match a paint color. A color is arrived at after a long process of experimentation and approximation, where many different minerals may be used and swapped out if the desired outcome is not achieved.
Some chemical combinations are not as stable as others, and slight differences in temperature within the kiln, or of the gasses involved in the burning process may cause variations in outcome – in rare occasions, even across the face of a single tile with the same glaze! We try to search for tiles that vary excessively from target colors and manage any occasional difference between or within batches of fired tiles.
