I just like to be picky lol.
Also with their next project I fear them doing less to build more - I don't want to see the ONLY architect doing traditional styles decide "eh, we don't have to try as hard".
Olympia club, the other augusta building, and the james st building are just stellar.

As mentioned earlier and shown in my close up photos from my tour, they're concrete. I asked Steve about the material, and he confirmed that going back to the 1930s "stone" was sometimes still real stone, but it was also often a concrete type material. You can see those faux stone buildings (which I'm not a fan of) as an example.
