East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, USA
Norcross Bros. Stone Yard, East Longmeadow, Mass.
"...In Massachusetts the firm of Norcross Bros. have extensive deposits of sandstone at East Longmeadow. This stone is classed in three grades: Worcester, Kibbe and Maynard. Of these the first-named most clearly resembles Portland stone. The Maynard is a distinctly red variet, and the Kibbe is midway between the two. The stone appears to be more porous than the Portland stone, but it is sufficiently durable for a building stone if care is taken to place the stone on its bed."
