FOR DARK TRIM

LACK, blue-grey, and mahogany tints have been used
for interior trim in many recent buildings, indicating a definite trend toward these pleasing and serviceable colors.
For the Mitten Memorial, Philadelphia, William H. Lee, Architect, selected Alberene Stone for the treads and trim leading from the main lounge of the building to the various levels surrounding it. The soft blue-grey of the Alberene blends beautifully with the tones of the variegated stone floor and the limestone columns. The ensemble is pleasing and in character with the building.
Because it is dense and non-stratified, Alberene Stone is an extremely economical material to finish, and where a design requires a great deal of carving it may be possible to effect a decided saving.
We would like to submit samples and send you, also, the brochure Architectural Alberene” which contains actual color reproductions of Alberene in conjunction with other stones often used for interior trim.
