What reading level is Building Stones of Ohio book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The quarry of the Higgins Stone Company is about one and one- half mile south of Bellevue, on the Nickel Plate Railroad. The stone, which is worked to a depth of about 25 feet, is usually in thin uneven layers, but near the base of the quarry the beds thicken, and one of two feet 10 inches was noted. Much crystalline matter, but little chert was found. Crushed stone is the product of the quarry.
About one mile farther south is the small quarry known as Flat Rock, whose chief output has been bui...lding stone for many years. At present about 8 feet of stone are worked, but formerly a few feet more were quarried, the lower courses having been abandoned because of their thickness, reported at 22 inches.
At present the thickest layer worked measures seven inches. Each bed has a blue strip in the middle with a buff one above and below. Where a crack or joint cuts the rock it also is bounded with buff, the result being that some pieces have a blue center with* a lighter colored border. Such cases furnish excellent illustrations of color changes resulting from weathering.
