Thornton, Illinois limestone quarry circa 1921. My wife's grandfather was a Serbian immigrant who worked in this quarry his whole life. His home and family lived in a home right next to the quarry so he truly was able to walk to his work. This quarry is still in operation today and now covers many square miles. View full size.
Founded in Marion, Ohio in 1884. I am in awe of that chain.
