<p>The district is made of multiple buildings that comprise the New Lexington plant of the Ludowici Roof Tile Company.

After the merger the New Lexington plant was expanded multiple times to become the company&#39;s leading manufacturing site. After the onset of World War II domestic construction was reduced significantly and the company briefly employed area women to slip cast, glaze, and paint pottery pieces.</p><br>
<p>The company had operated seven plants in five states over the course of its existence but after the closure of its factory in Coffeyville, Kansas in 1956 the New Lexington site became its only remaining production location.</p><br>
<p>A resurgence in interest in historic restoration helped buoy the company through the 1970s and 1980s and the New Lexington site underwent improvements and some modernization. Older coal-fired brick kilns were removed and in 1991 North America&#39;s first hydrocasing kiln was installed to replace them.</p><br>
<p>In 2007 a former loading building was adaptively repurposed and turned into a showroom for the company, renamed Ludowici. In 2021 several of the factory buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district.</p><br>
<p>As of 2024 the factory continues to manufacture roof tile and is still run by Ludowici.</p><br>
