Here is a beautiful example of Richardsonian Romanesque Architecture. This is the public library in Warren , MA. The building was opened in 1889.
Taken from the Warren Public Library Website”
“Architect Amos P. Cutting of Worcester was engaged to design this Richardson Romanesque building, using Monson pink granite and Longmeadow brownstone. The firm of Patrick Beston of Springfield did the construction. The new Library building was dedicated July 4, 1890 with appropriate exercises, involving Officers of the Town and the Warren Public Library corporation and Building Committee. Inscribed in the granite over the door are the words “Free too All.” A plaque on the wall to the right reads “WPL – A Gift of Friends.””
The above quote mentions Monson Pink. This would be interesting to know if this is true and also a Norcross Bros. stone. I was alway under the impression this was Milford Pink Granite.

We were proud to have been asked to create Hand Split Granite Posts for the Historic Town of Senoia , GA.

One day we hope to visit these stones in their new home.
In the life of a granite curb it’s handled dozens of times while being cut, shipped, installed, removed , salvaged, sorted and then packaged for the client. It was by pure chance that these two stones were reunited, Just in the three months these stones were in our yard we moved them four times before palletizing them as shown above.
One in a million.

The following work was done by Joseph Blue with Blue Stone Masonry. He can be reached a jcpblue@verizon.net or www.bluestonemasonry.com.
New England Fieldstone has been used to create this retaining wall. Heavily weathered surfaces have been preserved by our carefully salvaging techniques and Joe’s soft touch.
Large chunks of New England Fieldstone and Reclaimed Granite were used for sitting areas around the perimeter of the patio. Irregular bluestone flagging was installed as the finished patio.
New England Steppers create this three step set. These stones were carefully salvaged from a 18th century Federal home in Dudley, Ma. Many of the original markings from being split are still evident on the edges.

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore! – -Poe-

This granite well stone was salvaged in Barre, Ma. It now sits on Long Island, NY. The engraving’s translation is ” everything changes…nothing perishes” .
