In a message Jimsky Rhodevich writes (in admiration of some new stucco work):

<< Job was a "brownstone" just east of Madison Avenue on 91st Street (49 E
 91?).  Contractor was ADAM CONTRACTING.  718-875-0477. >>

This is Mark Adami's firm; I've tried to interview his people, but he won't
let them speak to reporters - or at least me.  This may be because I wrote
about Colonnade Row in 1995 and concluded with the paragraph:

<<   There is another concern. Mr. Callen chose not to employ a conservator
or an
<<architect and hired the masonry concern of A. Adami, whose bids and
<<specifications have a significant error. These documents consistently
describe
<<the houses, among the most famous marble buildings in the city, as
"limestone."
<<Mark Adami, vice president of the concern, says that the owners will not
let him
<<talk about the project but that it will go ahead "very soon."

I'm still looking to interview a "natural man"* stonecarver.

*"natural woman" would do in a pinch, or might even be better
