What was the date, not of the book, of the find by Carrere and Hastings?
Ruth, for whom this is local news

Upon further sober reflection, I remember having been told years ago by a
reliable (in these matters) source (known to and unloved by both ][<en and
the undersigned) that the exterior of Da Liberry was built using Tuckahoe
marble. 

From the new, $175.00, two-volume, 9.5 pound book on Carrere & Hastings:

"Working with Norcross Brothers, they [Carrere & Hastings] located quarries
in Vermont at Dorset and Danby, near Manchester, that had enough marble to
suit their needs."

Don't ever, ever, EVER question me again.  At least today.

Sincerely yours,  Flatlander
