Federal Hall has a limestone roof also, tho they are not shingles. A bit 
heavier than that. I got to see them up close a week after 9/11 when 
they had a 1/2" of powdery dust and personal kind of office papers 
strewn about on them. RFP was for removing all the stuff. I asked 
questions about asbestos and was never called back.
