Post by Tony CooperPost by Peter T. DanielsAha -- swimming into my ken comes "Lamont limestone." Which
apparently names a kind, not a specific place.
Your ken has a limited span.
Maybe Ken's tail has dropped off. Parasites in hs waterbowl? He used
to be a swinging cat.
Post by Tony CooperLemont limestone is limestone from around a place: Lemont,
Illinois. Lemont limestone is yellow dolomite.
[Chicago limestone]
(TC didn't google < lamont limestone > and see the worldwide
assortment of hits on the front page of Image results.)
Actually, spelling it "Lemont ", I did.
Meaning that your results are irrelevant to my results.
Now you are lying. You stated your results showed limestone
buildings. No buildings are shown at the "lamont limestone" image
page. Your search was re-directed to the same page I went to.
Google does that when you spell things incorrectly and keywords take
over and "Including results for LEMONT LIMESTONE" jumps in.
Post by Peter T. DanielsYou may have intimate knowledge of the surroundings of Joliet.
Chicagoans know it only as the site of a notorious penitentiary,
and as a neighbor of Romeoville. (Yes, not a coincidence.)
Post by Tony CooperWhat was displayed were buildings, some of which were yellowish
limestone. I had already agreed that some limestone can be described
as "pale yellow", but most limestone - particularly Indiana limestone
- is in the gray range.
What I *didn't* do is state that: "Indiana limestone, which is a pale
yellow" as you did or confuse Indiana limestone and Illinois
limestone.
I again request that you stop trying to "show me up" with your every
posting, especialluy on matters concerning which you are profoundly
ignorant -- such as Chicago architecture.
This is not about "Chicago architecture". It's about a building
material used in Chicago area - limestone - and a building material
that I have had more years than you observing.
It's about a flat-out incorrect catagorical statement that Indiana
limestone is "pale yellow". That statement precludes other colors,
when - in fact - Indiana limestone colors range from buff to gray with
the most-seen color being in the gray range.

That most Indiana limestone buildings are in the gray range is an
observable fact. I can go to downtown Orlando and look at the old
courthouse (now the Orange County Regional History Center) which is
Indiana limestone.
This could have been simple. I would have accepted "pale yellow" as a
description of "buff", if you had said "some Indiana limestone is pale
yellow" but you had to be catagorical about it.
Post by Peter T. DanielsThe -- well-educated -- docents of the Chicago Architecture Foundation,
who lead neighborhood tours, routinely point out "Indiana limestone" as
a building material, and said "Indiana limestone" is routinely a pale yellow.
Now I think you are outright lying. You're recounting a recollection
of what was said several years ago and imputing a false memory of what
was said. No informed person would say that Indiana limestone is
*routinely* a pale yellow, or even "routinely a buff color".
You have ignored that Joliet-Lemont limestone was closer to your "pale
yellow" description and that some Chicago buildings could have used
that limestone and that's where the docent's comments could have
applied without the "Indiana" part.
Post by Peter T. DanielsPost by Tony CooperI suspect that when you made the comment that you were unaware that
not all limestone is quarried in Indiana, and that you were under the
impression that all the Chicago limestone buildings were built with
Indiana limestone.
My God. Stop imputing your ignorance to everyone else.
Easy to impute ignorance to you when you didn't even know the source
of pale yellow limestone or why some limestone is pale yellow instead
of in the gray range as is most limestone.
Post by Peter T. Danielscomes from all over the world. (Such as Oxfordshire.) The limestone
that was routinely used in Chicago was called "Indiana limestone,"
and a more specific name was put to some of it.
Is this a reference to "Lamont" [sic]? What you claimed was a type,
not a place? Don't be silly.
If a term was applied, it would have been "Bedford", not "Lamont"
[sic].
