Vanishing Art in Masonry
In dry walla I think the old stone mason takes the greatest pride of all for it is the dry wall a wall laid without mortar that the sheer art of the mason comes into play. The art of the dry wall is the ancient heritage of New England and speaks not only of Puritan sincerity but beauty. Many older walls are worth seeing for form and proportion set in landscape. The old stone fences of Burnham hills and Crewsbury were built to last a thousand years. A beautiful art and one that is passing away. It is the dry wall that stands of itself that the old mason loves best.
