Both Portland England and Portland New England (Connecticut) stone was used in New York City. Thus I added a disambiguation. --Zfish118⋉talk 05:08, 26 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

You should say something about the thousands of single family residences that were built in New York and Boston from Portland brownstone. many of these still exist and today are prized by homeowners. 10 million cubic yards of brownstone were removed from the Portland quarries for these and other projects.
