More random comments on the Corran

Some nearby heritage ruins that I am using to learn more about 19th century building practices in the Grey Bruce area.

These are not researched comments just random thoughts to catalog and explore more deeply into the building methods used.

I couldn't help but wonder, why don't they even just rebuild one stone a day a few hundred a year. All the materials were locally sourced in the mid to late 19th century -- why not just rehabilitate/restore the site as a long term project? Much like the gardens and orchards, why not turn this ruin into a working garden? None the less just uploading this to help catalog. Anyone with information or links on the Corran's construction or building methods kindly share. http://www.geologyontario.mndmf.gov.on.ca/mndmfiles/pub/data/imaging/MDC015/MDC015.pdf

There was indeed Portland cement manufacture in Grey Bruce Country in the late 19th century... I would probably need to research the incorporations of companies etc.. to get a clear picture on this..
