Malibu Tiles

Rhoda-May Adamson Dallas, namesake for Adohr Farms and Malibu ranch heir, has died. She boasted an ideal childhood at California's seaside. Born in 1917, she spent much of her early life in an oceanfront Spanish-style house, boating in the Malibu lagoon and hiking the trails in the Santa Monica mountains.

Further enriching her experience there was being exposed to the creation of the vibrant tiles of the Malibu Potteries, a commercial venture her grandmother founded in 1926. The potteries existed only until 1932, making the exquisite tiles even more rare.
