English: Title: Work progresses inside the Colorado Stone Quarries mine high above the aptly named town of Marble in Gunnison County, Colorado
Physical description: 1 photograph : digital, tiff file, color. Notes: Founded in 1899, Marble lay below the historic Yule Marble quarry (named not for Christmastide but for one of the mine's early owners). Its stone, considered to be of exceptional quality, was used for the Tomb of the Unknowns and much of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., as well as civic buildings in San Francisco and a skyscraper in New York City. It was thought that the marble quarry had played out, and the town of Marble turned into an obscure outpost of rough-hewn mountain cabins. But Colorado Stone Quarries, an Italian-based company, found a new and rich vein and (as of 2015) is producing, distributing, and exporting high-quality white marble, Colorado's state stone, once again.; Forms part of: Gates Frontiers Fund Colorado Collection within the Carol M. Highsmith Archive.; Credit line: Gates Frontiers Fund Colorado Collection within the Carol M. Highsmith Archive, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division.; Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.; Purchase; Carol M. Highsmith Photography, Inc.; 2015; (DLC/PP-2015:068). |
