Most of the brownstone used in nineteenth-century New York came from the Portland, Conn. on the Connecticut River or near Little Falls, N.J., near the Passaic River. The stone was cut there, put on barges, carried to New York, and unloaded near one of the building stone storage yards along the Hudson or East Rivers.

By the late 1840s, however, brownstone became the most fashionable building material for row houses facades.
