That was vague.  Dr. Fred, Salem Limestone/Indiana limestone is how it
appears to me. The stone are large, roughly 24"x36" and set in mortar bed,
in some areas between 3-5 inches.....not sealed.....oxidizing
already....going down a bad road. What do you suggest?  I have had a brief
conversation with John about this. Thanks
