e 7867 USA: I am an architect with a firm in Columbus, OH. We are working on a renovation project for the old Montgomery County Courthouse in OH. The stone that was used on the building in the late 1830"s was called "Dayton Limestone". We are looking for a source of replacement stone that could match as closely as possible for the portions of stone replacement work that will be done under this project. I have attached some photographs of the particular building that we are involved with so that you can see the limestone.
To my knowledge there is no source for the original stone. All of the quarries that once produced the stone are now closed. I have attempted to do some searching on the internet for a compatible stone but it is very difficult to determine color, texture etc. by photographs. I am wondering if any of your suppliers might have some ideas on finding and appropriate stone to match. July 10, Contact USD 50 (open)
