Reclaimed
Stone
S T
O N E C O T T A G E F A R M
We handle a
variety of reclaimed stone ranging from old stone pavement to details to
entire buildings. We specialize in limestone from North Central Kansas,
better known as “Post Rock Country”.
When onsite restoration is not possible, we dismantle/reclaim the material
to be re-used in a new environment. In all our reclamation we do as
much historical research as possible to pass along with the stone to its
new home.
Reclaimed stone is a very unique product. Each piece of stone was hand cut
and contains a history, patina/appearance, and quality of craftsmanship
from a bygone era - things that just cannot be reproduced in today’s
market.
| “When we build let us think that we
build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor present use
alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and
let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when
those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them,
and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought
substance of them, “See! This our father did for us.” ~ John Ruskin |
