Natural stone has been used widely in building construction for centuries due to its strength, durability, aesthetic effect, availability and inherent low costs for maintenance. In the 1960s, the practice of facing skeleton-frame structures with large prefabricated concrete components to decrease construction time and reduce costs resulted in a combination of the rich beauty of natural stone veneer and the strength, versatility and economy of precast concrete.
