  • History of Quincy Quarries and the Granite Railway
    THE QUARRIES of the GRANITE RAILWAY COMPANY The First Railway in American Being and Exposition of the Growth of the Quarries and the uses to which the Granite may be put Copyright 1928 by the Granite Railway Company Compiled, arranged and printed by direction of Walton Advertising & Printing Company Boston, Mass. Foreward They were talking about building stone, and the man who had just returned from Eygpt had a story to tell. "I saw them dig a great statue out of the sand," he said, "out of the sand and the darkness of more than four thousand years. They told me that it was the statue of a king. Little by little they opened a pit about the figure, and then took away the sand close around it in slow and careful handfuls. Pretty soon one could lean over, look down and see that ancient fate. It was all quite wonderful to me, but perhaps what seemed most wonderful of all was the beautiful condition of the stone. In spite of its long burial, not a line of the fine sculpturing was blurred, not an edge of it corroded, not a sulfate of it marred." The secret of ageless Egypt, of the dignity, the beauty and the strength of her great temples and memorials, is that same Egyptian stone. It is granite, yes, but more exactly "syenite," for it does not contain mica. They quarried it at Syene in upper Egypt. Did you know that one of the finest deposits of it is here in the United States-stone such as the Egyptians themselves would have been proud to use? If you want to see it lying in the earth, being cut from the living rock, go to Quincy.

Haley & Aldrich, Inc. (Haley & Aldrich) has prepared this submission to facilitate off-site discharge of temporary dewatering during construction activities at the Seaport Square Parcel L4 site, located at 390 Congress Street, in Boston, Massachusetts.

  • Bodwell: King of the “Granite Ring” 1852-1922
    BODWELL: KING OF THE “GRANITE RING” 1852-1922. A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Arts Aaron A. Dumont June 2004 This thesis entitled BODWELL: KING OF THE GRANITE RING 1852-1922 BY AARON A. DUMONT has been approved for the Department of Geography and the College of Arts and Sciences by Geoffrey L. Buckley Assistant Professor of Geography Leslie A. Flemming Dean, College of Arts and Sciences DUMONT, AARON. M.A. JUNE 2004. Geography Bodwell: King of the “Granite Ring” 1852-1922 (89 pp.) Director of Thesis: Geoffrey L. Buckley The purpose of this thesis is to bring to light the events that lead to the decline of the granite industry on Vinalhaven. For years historians have blamed the decline of the granite industry on concrete, structural steel, failure to modernize, and the change in Architectural styles. However, the demise of the granite industry in Maine is much more complex. Little has been written about the development of the railroads, and the limestone industry, which played a significant role in eroding the market for granite. Approved: Geoffrey L. Buckley Associate Professor of Geography Acknowledgments I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Buckley for all his patience, understanding, and support while working with me on this thesis. Also I would like to thank the rest of my committee Dr. Anderson, and Dr. Boone for giving me their time and insight. Last but not least, thanks to all those people who were “from away,” who made my stay at Ohio University an entertaining and enjoyable experience.
