Medina Ashlar Block

Medina Ashlar block is most commonly seen in the construction of churches, libraries, City Hall’s and mansions between the 1820s and 1930s. The historic stone material is a finely dressed stone with typically very thin joints. The face of the reclaimed stone may be quarry-face or feature a variety of treatments – tooled, smoothly polished, or rendered with another material for decorative effect.

Ashlar may be coursed with continuous horizontal joints or delliberately discontinuous joints both vertically and horizontally.
