Boston City Hall Pavers

Boston City Hall Pavers

Comments 0 Comment

Stiles and Hart has been manufacturing brick for over a century in Massachusetts. Established in 1886 and now with over 100 years of experience, The Stiles and Hart Brick Company remains the only brick manufacturer in Massachusetts. Our bricks impart an authentic colonial beauty to every project.

We choose to frame the Stiles and Hart Boston City Hall brick with reclaimed granite curbing. This stone was salvaged from Sturbridge during a highway reconstruction project. Its worn tops and soft edges made it a perfect fit.

If you are looking for any type of clay brick paver to use for your patio or walkway please contact Camosse Masonry Supply @ 508.248.4044. , 23 Trolley Crossing Rd, Charlton, MA 01507.

We have an abundance of reclaimed granite from the Odd Fellows Home in Worcester, MA. The building was taken down in 2014-2015. We were able to salvage most of the granite sills, window trim and foundation stone. We also have  granite steps from the same project.

The stones pictured below have one edge that is beveled. This stone would be ideal for a custom granite fireplace surround. It could be used inside or out. We have over one hundred feet of this granite in stock.

Every window in the Odd Fellows Home has a granite sill and surround. Most sills have a traditional finished face and beveled top. We have used these for all types of landscaping or masonry applications.

Pictured below are dozens of granite window sills salvaged from Worcester, MA.

We have more granite than we have ever had before! Come out to Charlton and pick your unique stones for any type of landscaping or masonry application.

These posts were made to line a driveway. Rings were installed to allow chain to be hung between posts. Twenty posts were made in all for this project.

The granite was sourced from South St in Ware, Ma. We had over two thousand feet of reclaimed granite salvaged from the streets of Ware. Many of the largest pieces still sit in our Charlton, MA stoneyard.

Sometimes your lucky enough to be around at the right time and the right place. This is one of those times. We have salvaged 65 granite bollards that have been sitting in the woods for more than forty years. The stones , likely over one hundred years old, were removed and had been sitting around waiting to be discovered.

Each granite bollard is covered in heavy lichen and patina. The weathering wraps the corners and extends from top to bottom. It’s rare to see this type of weathering on so many pieces.

Apex tops dress most of the posts. The piece pictured below is one of thirteen identical in finish but varying in exposed length.

Here is a beautiful example of Richardsonian Romanesque Architecture. This is the public library in Warren , MA. The building was opened in 1889.

IMG_20160219_0003 IMG_20160219_0004

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.””

library2The 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.

Madison Boulder is located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.  It measures 83′ long x 23′ high and is 37′ wide. The boulder weighs over 5000 tons. For more info about this boulder and many others like it join us at www.stonesofthepast.com where we hypothesize the idea these stones were moved and shaped by hand.

We were proud to have been asked to create Hand Split Granite Posts for the Historic Town of Senoia , GA. Our skilled stonesmith , Patrick Berthiaume , split these stones from larger blocks using traditional methods . These blocks were originally the foundation for the Odd Fellow’s home in Worcester, MA. 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.

We have a wide selection of large weathered fieldstone slabs. These stones have been carefully salvaged from barn foundations and local properties. Most have evidence of being split by hand hundreds of years ago.

The two stones shown below were split in half by the farmer building the foundation. Only the narrow face of the stone was shown in the wall. Each stone is roughly 36″ x 72″ and 12″ thick.

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 is a unique color with square faces and sharp corners. This stone was once quarried for the developing construction of the railroad bridges across New England.

We are sorting the stones by size and doing loose and palletized loads of material. We can custom fabricate the stock finishing it to your specs for any job!

This stone is heavily weathered and we are carefully handling it to your home.

Cobbles and small wall stone are the most prevalent and packaged in 3000lb pallets and 20 ton containers.

Large patches of moss and lichen cover the stones from decades of weathering and exposure.

Located in the center, below the stone, is a hand chisels granite basin to hold water. The reflection is a great compliment to the design.

This treasure was unearthed while hiking. Is it a butterfly or a turtle? Either way it appears to be similar to other effigies in New England. I like to envision Big Panther reflecting on his ancestors while visiting the Colonel. Other standing stones and boulders mark the landscape.

This is a great example of a colonial factory and mill. The foundation is still intact although heavily deteriorated in sections. It is along the beginning of the Little River between Charlton Reservoir and Pier Point in Dudley, Ma. There is quite alot of history to this area including old and forgotten quarries.

The photos below show a locally quarried granite. The material was split within 1/2 mile of the property. Millstones and other unique elements adorn adjacent properties. Our inventory includes large blocks of stone that would install very similarly. Please contact us today if you are interested in having authentic looking stone for your landscape or masonry project.
