Kingston, the Limestone City

     Kingston, Ontario is called The Limestone City because many of the city's landmarks were built with limestone: Fort Henry; the Martello Towers; Royal Military College; Kingston General Hospital; Rockwood; Kingston City Hall; Queen's University;Collins Bay Penitentiary and the Kingston Penitentiary.
Limestone is one of the most durable building materials in the world.
