It looks more like cinder block than marble from the photos, is that the case in person as well? Kind of a bummer to have a marble house that ends up being nothing special.
Negative re: cinder blocks. In person, they're quite plainly larger than cinder blocks, and with a different texture as well. The absence of paint is also quite noticeable. As far as I recall, I'd long presumed it was stone of some sort. That alone is not particularly remarkable- stone buildings abound in the area, though not in that specific neighborhood- and absent this article I'd never have paid it any mind.
