All most all local stone homes and other structures had their stone quarried locally around the Philadelphia area. Earlier generations of stonemasons took great care when building these structures exercising extensive knowledge that was passed on from generation to generation. Due to new building materials and modern techniques, masons with such knowledge of stone masonry and repair are harder to come by.
