Talk:Brownstone

Brownstone slang.

I always thought heroin was called "brownstone" in regard to the Mexican Brown form of heroin, and/or the brownish color Black Tar heroin that could be a hard rock in shape and consistency. 4.255.49.109 (talk) 10:06, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Brooklyn Brownstones

Brownstones are found in abundance in many neighborhoods in Brooklyn, not only Brooklyn Heights. NSpector (talk) 07:13, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Split this article?

I wonder if this admittedly not-long article ought not to be divided into two articles, one on geology and one on architecture? I came here on a link from "terrace houses" and was a bit startled to be presented with an paragraph about Jurassic rocks -- adjacent to a photo of row houses. --Michael K Smith^Talk 22:37, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

I'd be inclined to agree. Barnabypage (talk) 10:40, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

I also agree. My wife just asked me "What is a Brownstone?" I answered with an attempted definition, and then looked it up here only to find that a definition of the architectural style was not really here.Terry Thorgaard (talk) 20:08, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Suitability as a building material

This section should be expanded to include some more factual evidence and citations. There is only one article mentioned , and there are probably better resources out there somewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.66.148.226 (talk) 02:29, 12 February 2019 (UTC) And why is the only authority on the quality on Brownstone as a building material a professor emeritus of the History of Art? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.36.23.217 (talk) 17:40, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
