This depended upon the locale. 'Local stone' would have been the first choice, if only because of availability. Remember, in those early days, even decent roads were lacking, as was a decent transport system. In Oamaru, limestone, or some of the local volcanic rock were the choice. In Christchurch an Lyttleton, the local varieties of volcanic were the obvious choice. In Central Otago, the choice is limited to schist rocks - a metamorphosed sedimentary rock.
