Those are the cleanest, newest stoops I have ever seen.

When new stoops are built, they already look more worn out than this.

Apparently they're marble!

Like… solid slabs??

Worth more than the whole house.

No, blocks right 4ft long 10 wide and 6 or 8" tall.

Under the steps given the age might be a cold room like my house and many like it from the same time period.

Like only under the steps and the size of the steps, or a full room which is partly under the steps?

Cool either way....

Depends but in my area it's the width and depth of the stoop. With the cracks and gaps between blocks acting as your vent.

Probably because they're not built from marble blocks. Was marble not a premium construction material back then?
