Berry College, large enough to hold its own zip code in Mt. Berry, Ga., adjacent to Rome, Ga., needed a roofing tile that would be an identical match to all the other natural slate buildings on the campus.
Berry College, an independent, coeducational college that is ranked among the best colleges of its type in the South, was founded by Martha Berry in 1902 on family land that she added to over the years. It now offers students and visitors from across the country the scenic beauty of fields, forests, lakes, mountains and wildlife preserves - not to mention historic buildings. Known as The Berry Schools in its early years, Berry became a senior college in 1930.
