HISTORY OF KILNS

Pioneers very early on learned that limestone and sandstone did not make a good material for the foundations of buildings. Water and chemicals in the soil would dissolve the material in the limestone and sandstone that binds together the little grains of rock material, thus leading to the crumbling of the limestone or sandstone bricks.
