Mike,
The entrance to Prospect Park at Grand Army Plaza was built with natural
cement - McKim Mead & White late 1890s (I think). I was the resident
engineer for Parks when the ensemble was restored in 1993-95.

Rudy,
One of my current histo-presto obsessions is documentation of buildings
built
with natural cement. More than 80% of that would have happened pre-1899, the
date of publication of Ruth's book on Cleveland buildings. There are
historical references indicating that several bridges, industrial structures
and federal government buildings in Cleveland were built with natural cement
in 1898 or earlier. If any of them are in the book, that may constitute a
rare
record of their existence, what they looked like and what happened to them.
If any of those structures are documented in this book, then maybe it
belongs
in the Century House natural cement museum, rather than in a private
collection.
