brownstone.us is a team of quarrymen, scientists and engineers whose
diverse talents address technical issues of the fabrication and performance of
sandstones from around the world. Through its efforts, high-quality
brownstone for both restoration and new construction is now available here in
North America.

The finest brownstones are
high-strength rocks with
remarkable weathering
resistance. In Europe,
sandstones of a range of
colors have been used for
architectural and engineering
applications since the Middle
Ages.

Cumbria, England

All of the stone that we offer--quarried in England, Germany and in Asia--has
been rigorously tested to determine breaking strength, water absorption, bulk
density and freeze/thaw resistance.
Brownstone.us is pleased to announce that we now represent Stancliffe Stone Company in
the US. With their numerous quarries, Stancliffe is the leading supplier of dimensional
building stone in the United Kingdom and has supplied stone all over the world.
Their quarries include the historical red sandstones of St. Bees, Locharbriggs and Plumpton
Red Lazonby— all suitable for new construction or for restoration.
Buff colored stones are well represented by quarries at Stanton Moor, Stoke Hall, Fletcher
Bank, and Howley Park.
