PHOTO OF THE MONTH
Nov 05
Brownstone
was a popular building material in the mid to late 1800's in the
Northeast part of the country. Unfortunately brownstone does not
hold up well to the effects of wind and rain. The photo below shows
the underside of an exterior brownstone stairway at a building in
Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. The years of deterioration are also
evident by the pile of brownstone powder on top of the fuel oil
tank located under this stairway.
