What Are Buildings Made Of?

   Question #3

ANSWER: Sandstone

Nope.

Sandstone is a common stone which was used a lot in St. Louis, especially for trim such as window sills. Although we used a fair amount of it here, we had to import the sandstone from the St. Francois Mountains southwest of St. Louis or from other states such as Michigan.
