Pennsylvania Blue Stone

Future generations are going to horrified about the replacement of native stone for cut Pennsylvania Blue Stone at Watkins Glen and other gorges. 

While cut Pennsylvania Blue Stone is more durable and easier to work with, it looks about as much in place as a Brutalist style expansion to a historic Gothic building. It’s just ugly and out of place. 

In 30 years, probably the state will end up ripping out the blue stone.
