Rocks in the Walls

This very old home on All Saints is going through remodeling. I was surprised to see large flat rocks set between timbers. The rock was the same as used in the foundation--just in smaller pieces. The church across the street had an old marker dating the previous structure there to 1818, so it is quite likely that this is the same. Good construction I would say.
