My fellow Bullamankanites: The correspondent
below tells me stucco as a fake replacement for real brownstone is allowed
in Landmark districts for the reason he gives.
Personally, I don't think a) stucco is anything but an awful "match" and b)
brownstone is still available in the USA (pace Portland quarry in
Connecticut.)
And you say, sirs and mesdames, ... what?

had heard that, also that most of the stuff is quarried in China nowadays and
really doesn’t look like the historic material so it’s not appropriate for a
match, as opposed to cast stone which can be made to order.
