The Atlantic Terra Cotta Company created the Supreme Court Building's clay tile roof in 1932.

The Atlantic Terra Cotta Company was established in 1879 as the Perth Amboy Terra Cotta in Perth Amboy, New Jersey due to rich regional supplies of clay. It was one of the first successful glazed architectural terra-cotta companies in the United States.[1][2]
