Description: A photo of the site of an abandoned stone quarry on Butler Hill. An old road up Butler Hill was opened and cleared of fallen timber and underbrush as a firebreak for the State Forestry Department in trade for permission to obtain a stone out from an old quarry that was on their property. The stone was then used to construct a shelter building at no cost for materials. This photo was taken in connection to Project No. 3, Reduction of fire hazard. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Canal plat map showing a section of the route of the Ohio and Erie Canal in Tuscarawas County between stations 3232 and 3331. A large stone quarry, bridges, railroads, stations, locks, and other landmarks along the route are also noted. The map was created under the direction of the members of the Canal Commission of the state of Ohio and approved by the Chief Engineer of the Department of Public Works (variously referred to as the Board of Public Works and the Division of Public Works). The Ohio and Erie Canal was constructed between 1825 and 1832, eventually connecting Cleveland and Lake Erie with Portsmouth and the Ohio River. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph shows what appears to be a mine quarry in Ohio. There are several large mounds of dirt piled around a small body of water. Quarries in level areas with shallow groundwater or which are located close to surface water often have engineering problems with drainage. Generally the water is removed by pumping while the quarry is operational, but for high inflows, more complex approaches may be required. Through the mounds of dirt, a building or factory can be seen. Additionally, two cars are in the picture, one in the foreground and one in the background. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph shows the West Side Dock on Kelley’s Island. The West Dock was built in 1906 by the Kelleys Island Lime & Transport company and was located roughly in the middle of the west shore of the island. Sometimes called the Stone Dock, it is elevated pier made of steel and wooden trestles, with railway tracks running along the top, and designed to load crushed limestone into barges from either side. Within six years of being built, more than 500,000 tons were being shipped each year with as many as 8 steam locomotives needed to pull up to 150 full train cars. The company's island quarrying operation comprised more than 1,000 acres; especially impressive considering the whole island is only 2,888 acres. The lakeside ore dock was modified to a "pocket" structure in 1910. This greatly improved efficiency, as it allowed limestone to be stored in large bins until it could be loaded onto ships. While quarrying continues to be a major industry on the island, The Kelley Island Lime & Transport Company, founded in 1896, and which was once the largest producer of limestone and lime products in the world, closed the early 1960s. Numerous ruins of these operations and quarries now dot the island. The East Quarry closed in 1940 and is now a state park. The whole of Kelley’s Island was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This 2.75" x 2.75" (6.99 x 6.99 cm) photograph of the Cleveland Quarries in Amherst, Ohio, was taken in the 1960s. Amherst is known for its large formation of high-quality sandstone, which runs roughly from Berea, Ohio to Amherst. The area has been labeled the "Sandstone Center of the World." John Baldwin, founder of what is now Baldwin-Wallace College, is credited with discovering the sandstone formation in 1842. Several quarries were already operating in the area. The Cleveland Stone Company bought out several of the smaller ventures in July 1886. The Ohio Quarries, owned by John R. Walsh, organized in 1903 in competition with Cleveland Stone Company. In 1929, Cleveland Stone purchased the Ohio Quarries and became the Cleveland Quarries Company. View on Ohio Memory.
