Surpassing Beauty 
in Stone Construction 
Everywhere in America where good architecture exists, the 
stone residence stands out as superior, and the desirability of a stone 
house hardly needs an advocate. 
For home builders realize that if a house is worth building at 
all, it is worth an initial investment which will give it the most 
attractive exterior and which will increase its ultimate selling value. 
SECOND FLOOR PLAN 
A suggestion of Italian style of architecture is shown in 
the Indiana Limestone residence illustrated. Here the 
eOeryday requirzments of the moderate size home have been 
preserved in a design of unusual dignity. Attention is 
called to the spacious living room and the conveniently 
arranged kitchen. The practical layout of the second floor 
is comprised of four bedrooms and two baths. ... The 
stone walls surrounding the house are simple and inex¬ 
pensive, and yet possess great artistic merit. 
For town or suburban homes, Indiana Limestone is the prac¬ 
ticable building stone. It is obtainable in three shades, Buff, Gray 
and Variegated. The home builder who has a fondness for color 
combinations may prefer the Variegated, which is a singularly 
beautiful blending of Buff and Gray. It is known as quarry-run 
stone, embracing the full run of color tone and texture variation, 
and is not only more economical than the other grades, but affords 
unusually artistic and interesting wall surfaces. 
Indiana Limestone is shipped all over the United States and 
Canada. Stocks of it are kept by stone workers in every large 
and moderate size city, also in many smaller places. If, for any 
reason, prospective builders have difficulty in obtaining the desired 
stone, this Association shall be glad to furnish estimates of cost 
for work executed in this material, whether the requirements be 
large or small. Address Indiana Limestone Quarrymen’s Associ¬ 
ation, Box 782 , Bedford, Indiana.
