A LITTLE CAST STONE HISTORY
Cast stone is a highly refined architectural precast concrete building stone manufactured to simulate natural cut stone. The earliest known use of Cast Stone was in the year 1138 for the Cite in Carcasonne, France, and no prescribed method for developing Cast Stone existed until the 19th century. In 1824, Joe Aspidin, a mason in London, patented a mix of Cast Stone consisting of limestone, silica, iron ore, and shale. This Cast Stone circulated through England in the early 1900's and made its way to America in the 1920's.
