Here I am with The Girls in Dublin, Ohio. This limestone fence is an icon of the area. The original fence, which looked just like this, was built by area stone masons in the 1800's. During the Civil War captives were put to work on a large section than ran along the river. So many of the historic buildings in this small town used this type of fence, that it has become a trademark for the town. New developments must incorporate it somewhere. Stone fences just like this are everywhere in Dublin.
