Following info found online:
Hispano-Moresque was founded in 1927 by Harry C. Hicks, an English stained-glass maker. In what was seen as a shrewd commercial move, two years later he re-located to North La Brea Avenue, next door to the popular Arts and Crafts Building. The move attracted a discerning clientele and Hispano-Moresque tile was used in many notable buildings, including Charlie Chaplin’s offices on La Brea, Villa Aurora in Pacific Palisades and Scotty’s Castle in Death Valley.
