Here in my immediate neighborhood in Northwest Iowa it's mainly poured cement with rocks thrown in for filler for out building foundations or rock and mortar. We do have plenty of rocks but they are too hard to chisel into shapes and very few have flat faces. My house has a rock and mortar foundation and it dates to sometime in the 1890's. In my immediate area we don't have limestone so any limestone was/is shipped in. My neighborhood has much newer buildings than can be found in the eastern states. The first buildings didn't come along till the late 1800's and we don't have many trees so most of the buildings except the very old ones were build from lumber yard lumber instead of local saw mill lumber.
