Is this the elegant spire built of the brown stone? If so, we were curious of
where the stone came from and if it was local quarried? It is important that I
know if NC has it's own rubble stone supply. I have vowed, since spending
weekends combing LI looking for no stone, to never again move to a geography
that only has stones the size of sand grains. When I lived in Upstate NY I had
stone piles all over the area... little waysides where I had dropped my rocks.
Living on LI you have to go buy a stone... which irritates me no end. The
house can only hold so many rocks and I am worried about the resale value of a
yard filled with imported boulders.
