Thats an Interesting fact. Baltimore's City Hall is made of the same snow white marble -- dug from a string of canyonlike pits in the Baltimore County area of Cockeysville -- it was also used for such notable buildings as the Capitol in Wahington, and the Washington Monument. Many of the city's well-known white marble steps also came from the quarry.
