Information on Buckeye Grey Sandstone used for the courthouse exterior

We first stopped at Vinton after 7:00 p.m. on October 11, 2008. In the dusk, the photos were interesting, but lacking details. We returned the next day to retake photos - and could now see many details that were difficult to find at night! The photos here were taken about 2:30 p.m.
