About Us

The Brick House Tile Company was established in 1984 in Keene, New Hampshire by Alice Toepfer and her son John. Alice, who turned 65 that year, had spent her life raising five boys and now wanted to create her own business. Alice and John experienced first hand the frustration of buying ceramic tile locally during remodeling projects, they knew that if people could see the exquisite tile choices available the tile would sell itself.
Located in a brick house built in 1860, Brick House Tile Co. has seven showrooms of ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tile displayed in a farm house setting complete with a barn where the manufacturing of Cider Press Tile takes place. This hand crafted tile is known for its crawling glazes that complement high fired tile. The staff at Brick House is trained to assist in both the designing of your dream project and the installation processes involved, ensuring that you are satisfied with your tile for years to come. The greatest testament to the values set by Alice is the large amount of repeat business created over the past thirty years.
