The Adamson House is a lovely Spanish Colonial Revival house located right next to the Malibu lagoon and Surfrider Beach. The house is a landmark not only for those interested in architecture and interior design, but it happens to be on the National Register of Historic Places. The Adamson house was built on land owned by the Rindge family who were known for dairy farming and later for the Malibu Potteries. Designed by Stiles O. Clements in1929-1930, for Rhoda Rindge Adamson and Merritt Adamson, the house is known for the Malibu tiles that can be seen at every turn. The Adamsons only had one framed piece of art in the house because the tile was considered the art work. Take a look at these beautiful tiles.

The Malibu Potteries were only in operation for 6 years, but they sure made an impression on the future of decorative tile. There are some companies such as Native Tile that make Malibu style tiles.
