The Roman Stone Company
As a r e s u l t o f the demand f o r concrete, by the f i r s t decade o f t h i s century a l l l a r g e Canadian communities, and many small ones, were served by a concrete block factory. There were also a few manufacturers o f orna- mental a r t i f i c i a l stone, the l a r g e s t the Roman Stone Company of Toronto. This firm, established i n 1903, produced a decorative stone c a l l e d "Roman
Stone" by a process developed and patented i n the United States by C.W. Stevens j u s t before the t u r n o f the century.8
The Stevens Process
I n the Stevens process, the f o l l o w i n g f atures o f which were recorded by the c h i e f engineer o f the Roman Stone Co.8, a r t i f i c i a l stone was manu- factured by casting concrete i n a sand mould, j u s t as molten i r o n i s cast i n such a mould. The absorptiveness o f the mould was an important factor i n the qua1 i t y o f the product obtained from the Stevens process. As soon as the wet concrete was poured i n t o i t , water from the concrete was drawn i n t o the sand. The concrete, accordingly, was compacted, but there re- mained s u f f i c i e n t water i n i t t o hydrate the cement, and the moist sand surrounding the concrete provided i t w i t h i d e a l curing conditions
.
The process, therefore, appl i e d t o concrete manufacture two conditions t h a t only much l a t e r became generally recognized as essential f o r the production o f good q u a l i t y concrete: a low water cement r a t i o and moist curing.A1 though sand moul ds were more expensive than the usual wooden o r i r o n moulds, because a separate one was required f o r each piece cast, the Stevens process y i e l d e d a much f i n e r product than could be obtained from other moulds. It was denser, more uniform i n colour, and i t possessed a
more n a t u r a l t e x t u r e than t h e a r t i f i c i a l stone formed i n o t h e r moulds. The c a s t a r t i c l e was sometimes l e f t w i t h i t s as-moulded f i n i s h , s i n c e a n a t u r a l stone t e x t u r e c o u l d be o b t a i n e d by veneering t h e p a t t e r n w i t h t h i n s t r i p s o f wood, b u t i t was f r e q u e n t l y f u r t h e r f i n i s h e d by hand c a r v i n g t o enhance t h e d e t a i l i n g .
Qua1 i t y Control
I n making Roman Stone, t h e qua1 i t y o f t h e aggregate was c a r e f u l l y
c o n t r o l l e d , as was i t s p r o p o r t i o n i n g w i t h cement and water. Various
n a t u r a l stones provided a v a r i e t y o f colours. Thus, f o r w h i t e stone, Niagara limestone and a w h i t e marble from Tweed were used; whereas t o
produce stones o f o t h e r colours, gray, brown, r e d and 01 i ve sandstones
were selected. Each type o f stone was d r i e d , crushed and s i e v e d i n t o t h r e e p a r t i c l e - s i ze f r a c t i o n s , t h e l a r g e s t p a r t i c l e s b e i n g about corn- kernel s i z e . These f r a c t i o n s were recombined i n t h e concrete mix i n pro- p o r t i o n s t h a t produced a dense m a t e r i a l .
The p r o p o r t i o n i n g of t h e cement and aggregate was c l o s e l y c o n t r o l l e d , as w e l l as t h e gauging of t h e amount o f water, which was drawn from a tank maintained a t constant temperature. The m a t e r i a l s were mixed i n a mechanical mixer, a f t e r which t h e concrete was run o f f i n t o l a r g e tubs
c a r r i e d by a t r a v e l l i n g crane t o t r a n s p o r t i t t o t h e c a s t i n g shop. The tubs
were f i t t e d w i t h s p i r a l paddles t o a g i t a t e t h e concrete, thus m a i n t a i n i n g
a uniform mix u n t i l i t was poured i n t o t h e moulds. The concrete was k e p t
i n t h e moulds f o r t h r e e o r f o u r days b e f o r e t h e y were opened, and t h e casts were then s t o r e d i n a temperature-constant room f o r seasoning u n t i l shipped.
One-piece stones as l o n g as 20 f e e t were manufactured, and stones were c a s t w i t h s e t t i n g hooks i n place. Those t h a t would be s u b j e c t e d t o t e n s i l e s t r e s s i n use were r e i n f o r c e d w i t h s t e e l . The products of t h e Roman Stone Company were nevertheless considered t o be re1 a t i v e l y cheap,
since i t was claimed t h a t a column i n Roman Stone c o s t o n l y s l i g h t l y more
than one o f wood.
The crushing s t r e n g t h o f Roman Stone, depending on t h e aggregate and t h e mix p r o p o r t i o n s , was between 2000 and 4000 pounds p e r square i n c h a t
s i x months, and i n excess of 7000 pounds a t two years. I t s s t r e n g t h was
s l i g h t l y g r e a t e r than t h a t o f Ohio sandstone and was much g r e a t e r than
t h a t o f Indiana limestone. I t s s t r e n g t h a l s o g r e a t l y exceeded t h a t of
concrete made by the d r y process, used i n t h e manufacture of c e r t a i n concrete blocks. The water a b s o r p t i o n o f Roman Stone, l e s s than 1 p e r cent, was exceeded by t h a t o f Ohio sandstone and I n d i a n a limestone, a t 5 p e r c e n t each, and was g r e a t l y exceeded by t h a t o f d r y process concrete, i n excess of 12 p e r cent.

I t s e n t i r e f r o n t was made of Roman Stone, i n c l u d i n g t a l l columns, a r c h i t r a v e , f r i e z e , cornice and parapet. The moulding o f i t s p a r t s was entrusted t o the f i r m o f Adamson and Wicks, who prepared wooden patterns from c l a y models o f t h e various p a r t s . A l lt h e stones of t h e b u i l d i n g were carved a f t e r c a s t i n g t o sharpen the a r r i s e s and t o expose t h e marble aggregate.
The columns o f t h e b u i l d i n g , 4 f e e t i n diameter a t t h e base and over 33 feet high, were formed i n 3-foot-high hollow sections w i t h an 18-inch diameter hole t o reduce t h e weight f o r handling; even so, each o f the 1 ower col umn sections wei ghed 23 tons. But the end pieces o f the corni ce were even heavier, weighing over 3 tons each. The stone o f the main architrave, spanning about 20 f e e t between the two middle columns, was r e i n f o r c e d w i t h a s t e e l I-beam c a s t w i t h i n it.
The Roman Stone o f t h i s b u i l d i n g was made from Tweed marble and Dyckerhoff cement i n proportions of about 33:l. The cement, o f German manufacture, c o s t twice as much as l o c a l cement, b u t was used because o f the excel l e n t and uniform product i t y i e l d e d .
