[2] It is a one-story, 16-foot-wide (4.9 m), 25-foot-deep (7.6 m) building built almost entirely of bricks, ornamental terra cotta, and roofing tiles manufactured by Celadon.
[3] The building was designed as a sales office for the company, and was considered a "catalog" of their work.
[4] The building was the only remaining structure after a fire broke out on August 29, 1909 and destroyed the Alfred factory of the Ludowici-Celadon Company.
[6] It was relocated to its present site, across the street from the Alfred Post Office, in 1974.
The Alfred Historical Society hosts open houses throughout the year for people wishing to examine the interior and learn about the history of the building and the tile company.
