Description
New Jersey was once a major manufacturing center of terra cotta, the hard, red-brown clay that was often glazed with colors and used to adorn buildings. A gargoyle discarded after a restoration of the Woolworth Building and a gilded crest from the roof of the Philadelphia Museum of Art are among ornaments made here that are on display at the Cornelius Low House/Middlesex Museum in ''Uncommon Clay: New Jersey's Architectural Terra Cotta Industry.'' 60-page monograph accompanying the Exhibition held in 2004, color & b/w illus.
