Most of the curbs on sidewalks here are Concord Granite.  It's basically what you think of for 'granite', white/light grey with small specks in it.   (my front stoop)

Interesting photo and could have used a faster shutter speed.
When I was in New England last year I noticed almost all of the curbs were granite.

Slightly related:  https://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/73103  A complete set of Roman era mason tools were found in Romania (Roman Dacia.)   (The History Blog is my favorite internet site for stuff like this, the author does a really good job adding value to basic news reports on art and archeology topics.)
