Product Spotlight: Credit Valley Sandstone
Salvaged from a deconstructed 1930s mansion overlooking the Humber River in west Toronto, this sandstone is an exceptional relic of 20th century high-end architecture in Ontario. The stone was excavated from the Credit River Valley, the same regional source and material used in major projects including the 1931-1933 Royal Ontario Museum expansion. It is hand-tooled coursed Ashlar in a variety of sizes, and can be cut to veneer thickness.
