Ever since I could remember I am always fascinated with architectural structures especially old ones. Old houses for me are fascinating, what with its reach history and complex forms. If given a chance I would love to explore castles, bridges and old houses, because of their nature and character I found them very interesting. Old structures fascinates me no end. If some would ask me to choose between modern architectural house of today and the old houses of the turn of the century which are made by stone walls I would definitely choose the later. Houses and structures made by stone wall have always caught my eye. Mostly, formations made by stone wall can be seen through out Europe and other parts of the world where cold whether is present. In Europe, stone wall have been their major construction framework especially in building their castles, bridges and wall boundaries. The materials used to build stone walls are made of local stone like limestone, flint, granite and sandstone. Since these substance are abundant in the area it is easy readily available when needed. Stone wall is a very popular building material since it has shown how sturdy and reliable it was centuries ago. Stone walls have been described as maintenance free. Because of stone walls’ compact built no living organism can take shelter between is precipice. Accordingly, stone wall cannot offer any sustenance not even weeds can invade the structure. Stone walls can help increase the market value of a property since it can shelter not just its inhabitants but also other living things that grows around it. Stone walls can shelter plants that are struggling to survive in cold places. The stone walls offer protection from the cold and hot winds of the European continent. A characteristic of a stone wall is that it radiates warmth during the cold and windy nights when they are soaked up from the sun during the day. Not only did stone walls protect plants from the harsh effect of the weather it also protect the people behind it from entities that threaten to invade and destroy there properties. Accordingly, since stone walls are impenetrable it has been the preferred protection of many who have fought invading enemies. Another characteristic of a stone wall is that it does not easily succumb to fire. Hence, the durability, resistance and endurance of stone walls have been tested through out the centuries. In these modern times the resilience of stone walls are still evident with the centuries old castles, city walls and other fortification that are still standing strong. These stone walls have weathered the test of time and have endured nature’s wrath through and through. With its very thick walls, stone walls are the best protection anyone has from enemies to the heat of the sun to the cold and harsh weather. Throughout the centuries stone walls have endured all types of conditions but still up to this day we can see how it has fought and won its numerous battles which are as old as time immemorial. stone wall NJCOM
