I live on an island it's a province of Canada but still and island (150,000 people). There is no hard rock here it's all red/pink sandstone. Many buildings built here especially in the early 1900s and before used sandstone. Banks and the large churches were built using hard stone like granite imported from Nova Scotia or New Brunswick.
