Sadly, in the last century, much of our architectural history has been abandoned through demolition to make way for new and modern structures. Hence, much of the craftsmanship in stone buildings has been buried and lost forever.

PB Stone has resurrected some of these structures by recycling as much of the material as possible and reusing it in modern structures such as new homes and commercial buildings. As a result, the painstaking labor of many stone craftsman from the 1800's has been preserved for many more generations. The examples below were installed in a new home in 2004.

	Stone quoins like these were hand made with hammer and chisel in the 1800's, taking days (and sometimes weeks) to complete an individual stone.
	Stone windowsill handcarved in 1800's
	These are actual tool marks on a hand-carved lintel from a mason chisel made in the 1800's (most lintels weigh over 400 pounds!)
