For instance, if there's issues with moisture down the line, they'd have to determine whether the issue is between the bluestone & brick, or brick & structural face. That's a bigger headache than it's worth.

Just guessing though...

it wouldn't be easy... but you leave airspace between the old and the new... and then allow for relief every 8 veritical feet, and include "weep holes" for moisture. The weight isn't carried by the brick but by proper ledges.

all that said - would be more expensive than putting bluestone on a NEW building....maybe we need to invent bluestone wallpaper? first up is burruss hall...
