Peru

Travel Guide

This gem is East of Peru Kansas 
One  can see a very small portion
of this great plant from hwy 166 
it is private property
with no trespassing
I know the owner and obtained permission 

Located in Chicago Ill. the Sprawling Field Museum 
Should be of particular interest to Residents of Peru Kansas
and the people of Chautauqua County.

The exhibit is a roofing tile. The descriptive card is inscribed
"The finest Tile in the world.
Made in Peru Kansas.

The factory is nothing but a bunch of old brick structures
 that have fallen into total dis-repair over the years.
There are trees growing taller up thru that are
 taller than the  building themselves 

It all started around 1904 when oil was discovered 
resulting and major oils boom.
according  then postmaster Helena Anderson
Sometime in the early 1920's, 
Spanish -Mission type architecture became popular.

A company out of Chicago bought the 
plant and made nothing but roofing tile to meet the growing demand.
