It amazes me that people are so obsessed with cement mortar in pointing stone. Here is what was a wash house Id say. Oh, thats another story, Wish id taken a photo of Nanas wash house before it was dismantled.
Any rate here is an original example of peach mortar to match back with darker stone etc. Non-hydraulic mortar is so nice to use. Cement mortar goes off so fast and when it does it cant really be woken up with out issues.
The mortar in this stone would be potentially 200 years old when most modern houses are knocked down after 30 years of age.
If I have posted this before, forgive me, its my fav
Its original house
