Book and Snake at Yale, has a marble roof.  Each "shingle" ways between
four and six hundred pounds.  Other than making the building look like
an overgrown jewelry box or as intended tomb, it does not make for the
most practical roof.  Excellent ballast, but makes replacement of the
underlayments expensive.

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. Nothing like asking
if something is "hot" to get the job going..............

 

Yes I do ask.
