Maybe mr Trump would like to use some Oolitic limestone to build that wall. ( bonus points if you can tell me two famous public buildings that are built with it)

My grandfather was a stonemason who came in through Galveston and traveled up the rivers. He settled in New Albany and used limestone from the Floyd knobs quarry to build numerous courthouses (Salem) and the Tunnelton tunnel. Had eleven children Some of the younger worked on the railroad.

OOlitic stone was a better quality and discovered later

I remember when the Pentagon was hit Indiana came with their Limestone and did the repairs no charge. Isn’t that correct Mr. Peabody?
