In several residences artificial stone (concrete) is found for window-caps or other trimmings, 

 but with Trenton sills, basement and water-tables. Lemont water-tables are seen in a few build- 

 ings which have other stone for trimmings. Kasota steps and water-tables are frequently put in 

 buildings that have other stone for trimmings. There is probably not a foundation laid in Min- 

 neapolis of any other stone but the Trenton limestone. There are perhaps twenty other brick 

 buildings with artificial stone trimmings, of which no account has been made.
