In colonial days, mortar was typically made by mixing lime, sand, and water. Lime was produced by heating limestone in a kiln, which created quicklime; this was then combined with water to create slaked lime, or lime putty. Sand was added to this mix to give the mortar strength and workability. The resulting mixture was used to bind stones and bricks in construction, providing a durable adhesive for building structures.
