Lee marble (white marble, <marble by color or pattern>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A type of white marble with a medium fine texture from Lee, Massachusetts. It can sometimes be light gray in appearance. A small band of Lee marble was used in the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. but it proved too costly; it was, however, used to build parts of the Capitol in the 1850s.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Type wit marmer met middelfijne structuur afkomstig uit Lee, Massachusetts. Het kan soms lichtgrijs van uiterlijk zijn. Een dunne band Lee marmer is gebruikt in het Washington-monument in Washington, D.C. maar het bleek te duur te zijn. Het is echter wel gebruikt in sommige delen van het Capitool, dat werd gebouwd in de jaren 50 van de 19de eeuw. |
