SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | Potomac Marble: The History of the Search for the Ideal Stone
DESCRIPTION:with Paul Kreingold | pre-recorded virtual event |  In his talk\, “Potomac Marble: The History of the Search for the Ideal Stone\,” Paul Kreingold explores the aftermath of Washington’s 1814 destruction by the British\, highlighting President Monroe and Benjamin Latrobe’s quest to rebuild the Capitol Building with symbolic and aesthetically pleasing materials. They selected Potomac Marble\, a limestone conglomerate found along the Potomac River\, for the Capitol’s columns. Kriengold discusses the challenges they faced\, including political opposition and quarrying difficulties. His research has led to the rediscovery of these historic quarries\, and he will present polished samples\, discuss British methods for burning stone buildings\, early 19th-century quarrying techniques\, and the use of the Potomac Canal for transporting the stone to Washington\, D.C. for carving. Originally aired February 2024.   Recording available December 8 – 14
