Founded in 1846, the marble works initially obtained its stone from as far as Vermont, first by boat and then by rail. In the 1930s, the company purchased a quarry in Sylacauga, Alabama, which it operated until the 1980s. The building, now repurposed as workshop space, has a crowstep facade faced in marble slabs. Inside, its steel frame was originally the structural system of a building in Sheffield, Alabama, and was disassembled, transported, and reassembled here.
