Editing Indiana Limestone (section)

===National===
Nationally, Indiana limestone has long been part of a [[high-end]] market. It has mostly been used on the exteriors of homes and commercial and government buildings.

Many prominent public buildings in the United States — such as the [[Washington National Cathedral|National Cathedral]], [[Biltmore Estate]], [[Empire State Building]], [[the Pentagon]], [[the Crescent (Dallas)|The Crescent in Dallas]], and the [[Hotel Pennsylvania]] — feature Indiana limestone in their exteriors. Some 35 of the 50 state capitol buildings in the United States are made of Indiana limestone.<ref name=limestone/> It was used extensively in rebuilding Chicago after the [[Great Chicago Fire]] of 1871. The sculptural group atop the main façade of New York City's [[Grand Central Terminal]] — known as ''Glory of Commerce'' — is made of Indiana Limestone. (A work by [[Jules-Félix Coutan]], it includes representations of [[Minerva]], [[Hercules]], and [[Mercury (mythology)|Mercury]] and, at its unveiling in 1914, was considered the largest sculptural group in the world.<ref>Roberts, Sam (January 22, 2013), ''Grand Central: How a Train Station Transformed America'', Grand Central Publishing; pg 89. {{ISBN|978-1-4555-2595-9}}.</ref><ref>Bilotto, Gregory; DiLorenzo, Frank (2017), ''Building Grand Central Terminal'', Arcadia Publishing Incorporated; pg 2. {{ISBN|978-1-4396-6051-5}}.</ref>) 

The original 1930s buildings of [[Rockefeller Center]] use limestone from Bedford. In 1955 the [[Tennessee State Capitol]] exterior was renovated using Indiana limestone to replace the poorer-quality Tennessee limestone that had started to deteriorate. Some 15,000 cubic feet of Indiana limestone was used in the rebuilding of [[the Pentagon]] after the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001.<ref>{{cite web|title=Pentagon|url=http://www.bybeestone.com/projects/pentagon/|website=Bybee Stone Company|access-date=19 January 2017}}</ref> The new [[Yankee Stadium]] in [[the Bronx]], which opened in 2009, extensively uses Indiana limestone paneling on its exterior facade. 

Indiana limestone has been particularly popular for the construction of [[university]] buildings. The [[Neo-Gothic]] campus of the [[University of Chicago]] is almost entirely constructed out of Indiana limestone; in keeping with the trend of post-Fire buildings using the material. The campus of [[Washington University in St. Louis]] – both for new construction and original buildings – makes use of Indiana limestone in its collegiate gothic architecture.<ref>{{cite web|title=Washington University|url=http://www.bybeestone.com/projects/washington-university/|website=Bybee Stone Company|access-date=19 January 2017}}</ref> Many buildings on the [[Campus of Michigan State University#North campus|north side]] of [[Michigan State University]] use Indiana limestone. The [[Cathedral of Learning]], a 42-story neo-gothic skyscraper that is the largest educational building in the Western Hemisphere, along with other nearby buildings of the [[University of Pittsburgh]], are clad in Indiana limestone. The St. Anthony Society Chapter House at [[Yale University]] also is built of Indiana limestone.<ref name=anthony>{{cite news|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1913/07/09/100634210.pdf|title=VANDERBILT GIFT TO 'SHEFF'; Frederick W. to Build... | work=The New York Times | date=1913-07-09}}</ref> Many of the [[Gargoyle|gargoyles]] on the buildings of [[Princeton University]] were carved from Indiana limestone, including "Flute Player", located on the exterior of [[Princeton University Library|Firestone Library]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Cantor|first=Laurel Masten|title=The Gargoyles of Princeton University|publisher=Princeton University, Office of Communications/Publications|year=1994|location=Princeton}}</ref>  Both structures of the [[Kenosha County Courthouse and Jail]] in [[Kenosha, Wisconsin]], were built out of the limestone. This stone was used as far north as the [[Hotel Macdonald]] in [[Edmonton]]. The [[Nebraska State Capitol]] is clad in Indiana Limestone, after native limestone was deemed too prone to weathering.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://capitol.nebraska.gov/building/history/nebraska-capitols//|title = History of the Nebraska Capitol Building}}</ref>

Because of the awareness of [[acid rain]], which wears Indiana Limestone relatively quickly, the stone is not as often used in monuments today as it was in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
