the joints. St. Ann's Protestant Episcopal church, Clinton 

 and Livingston streets, is of red sandstone, from New 

 Jersey quarries, with trimmings of Ohio sandstone. In the 

 Academy of Music, on Montague street, the Dorchester 

 sandstone was used freely in trimming, with red brick walls. 

 The Church of the Pilgrims, north-east corner of Remsen 

 and Henry streets is built of gneiss, of which many of the 

 stones are on edge, and in broken courses, and show some 

 signs of disintegration. The Dime Savings bank front, on 

 Court street, is a fine example of the oolitic limestone 

 from Bowling Green, Kentucky. The trimmings are 

 of polished granite. The hall of records, Fulton street 

 and Boerum place, and the new First Reformed church. 

 Seventh avenue and Carroll place, are also of the 

 oolitic stone from Indiana quarries. The Williamsburg 

 Savings bank is a massive building, with Berea sandstone 

 front. The Massachusetts sandstone is noted in the fronts 

 of the large ''Berkeley" and ''Grosvenor" apartment- 

 houses, in Montague street. In the " Arlington," also in 

 Montague street, a light gray sandstone was used in the 

 first story of the front. 



Scotch sandstone, from the Gatelaw bridge quarries, was 

 used in the houses of Stewart L. Woodford, President 

 street, and Herman Behr, Henry and Pierrepont streets, 

 and in the Germania club-house. 



Street Work.— For paving cobble stone has been used 

 most largely. Trap-rock also, has had an extensive use. 

 Granite blocks are now in favor and are displacing the older 

 cobbles and Belgian blocks. The total lengths of the several 

 kinds of pavements, are as follows : '^' 



. Cobblestone 280 38-100 miles 



Belgian block 22 41 -100 " 



Granite block . . 55 30-100 " 



Asphalt 8 82-100
