Fairmount or Dekayia aspera Beds. 
This division of the Lorraine was early known as the Stone 
Quarries and later by Orton’s name, Hill Quarry beds. . The 
name Fairmount is proposed because all the hills in that part 
of the city known as Fairmount, lying north from Price Hill 
and south or southwest from Cumminsville and immediately 
west of Mill Creek, in which numerous quarries have been 
opened, show these strata and none higher. The highest 
strata in the hills surrounding Newport and Covington also 
belong to this division. These beds, whose thickness is 
about eighty feet, are characterized by regular aternations 
of evenly-bedded, bluish limestones from two to six inches 
thick, rarely more, and bluish or sometimes pale yellowish 
or brownish shales. The limestones form at least a third of 
the whole mass and are easily quarried out. The stone is 
mostly used for foundation work for residences, though it has 
also been very tastefully employed to form the walls of a 
number of church edifices and other buildings of a quasi- 
public character. The stone when burned forms a rather 
strong lime, which has a limited use locally. At one time the 
making of lime was quite an industry, but the purer grades 
of lime shipped in have almost displaced the home-made 
article.
