Why this spot

1901-1925 dolomite quarry company town

Company town of the Lake Shore Stone Company, whose 25-acre dolomite quarry employed up to 150 men, mostly immigrants from Luxembourg, Austria-Hungary and Italy, who were paid in tokens at the company store. Gravel replaced crushed stone for roads and the company dissolved in 1925.View source →
