cementtilesThese tiles are made of cement. They have the same issues that clay tiles have when you consider installing them. In this case, there may be an additional concern. These tiles were made in 1931, which may mean that they have asbestos fibers in them. Using these fibers helped create a sturdy tile. The fibers can be released if the tiles are cracking.

There were tiles missing from other ridges. Note: it is not safe to walk on tile roofs, so if you have a problem with one, it is best to leave the repair to a professional roofer.
