I can't wait until all that limestone is covered in that black fungus  :excited:

Does anyone know why they don't address this around campus?  I've always wondered because it looks like crap and it seems like it wouldn't be that hard to clean.  Maybe I should take some photos of stuff that could easily be cleaned with a $200 pressure washer and send it to schulz.

the black discoloration on some buildings is a chemical reaction due to the limestone not being native to this area.   limestone that is native to this area does not have this reaction to rain, and therefore does not discolor.

Don't eat too fast, not sure if entirely accurate.  according to K-State, and some random website, a lot of our dirty buildings were constructed of native KS limestone (no offense Limestone).  East Stadium, Ahearn Fieldhouse, Engineering complex, etc.  so...

yeah that makes no sense.  I don't think they imported limestone from somewhere else back in the 1870s.  would've been a lot easier just to get it here.

I always assumed the discoloration was from car exhaust or something, but I have no idea.

The stains on the limestone have nothing to do with non-native stone getting rained on. The staining is called efflorescence. This staining is caused by salts and other minerals present in the mortar. When rained on theses salts and minerals migrate to the surface of the stone and when the water evaporates we see the stains.

It must be the non-native mortar that is causing the problem, then.

well I paid a lot of money to K-State for a graduate level course to learn about masonry, so I'm gonna respond that "I'm sure its not car exhaust."

So, I assume we're using an anti-efflorescent mortar on our castle?  Either way, I think it would still be cool if the castle turned black from all of the Harley exhaust.

The effects of acid rain on limestone
http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/acidrain/5.html

As mentioned before, had 2 of my profs tell us that the problem is worse on some campus buildings due to the use of non-native limestone, presumably due to the differing reactions to minerals in the rain vs. in the stone.   Above my paygrade.
