La Luz Pottery Factory is a former factory in La Luz, New Mexico. The buildings, including three houses, an adobe warehouse and kiln, a clay processing plant, and storerooms, were built circa 1929.[2] The factory, founded by Rowland Hazard, made roof and floor tiles as well as pots until it closed down in 1942.[2] The tiles were used in buildings like the Albuquerque Little Theatre.[2] The complex has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 29, 1979.[1]
