   I've seen some nice pictures in a brochure from American Olean of victorian era tile patterns in a tile store a few years ago.

   In the past I have seen a large number of patterns on tile manufactures web sites.I know that is a fairly generic answer, but a good place to start.

   Thanks guys. I found a couple of patterns before I posted in that Tileheritage site by picking through the catalog pages.

   What I really need is for Sancho Ron to crawl out from under  his table and go take a photo of the floor in the old OC courthouse. That's the pattern I'm looking for I think.

   Yo Ron, you there?

   Calvin, that Charles Rupert has some beautiful expensive tile. I want a set of these for my fireplace.

   yeah joe, beauts.  Spose those aren't in the 42.00 category.

   You know, the more I looked at tile on my search, the more I wanted to do more than just slap 4x4's on a backsplash.  It's interesting work.  Would like to do more.  Best of luck on your quest.  Couldn't find a thing on Orange County courthouse other than print.  Sounds like it has nice tile, just couldn't see it.Remodeling Contractor just outside the Glass City.
