The Story Behind Russell Stone Products |
Russell Stone Products ships sandstone |
When the first of the quarries opened in the mid 1800s, Curwensville was barely
50 years old. Bloom's Run Quarry was first to open in the 1840s or 1850s in the
small village of Greenville. Bloom’s Run expanded as a distinguished sandstone
marketer. Then in 1888 the Roaring Run Quarry, opened in Pike Township.
There was a big demand for Curwensville sandstone when the construction of the
infamous Rockville Bridge, north of Harrisburg was completed. Curwensville
contributed a great deal of the sandstone used in the project. The completion of
this project lead to other structures rising from the sandstone of Curwensville
including Princeton’s wondrous University Chapel, Philadelphia Museum of Art,
Cathedral of Learning at Pittsburgh University, and Chicago’s Machinery Hall of
World’s Fair in 1893, and countless other landmarks.
In 1920s the end of the Curwensville quarries was near. As a result of an ailing
economy and the use of more cost-effective concrete, Roaring Run was the only
quarry still operating. The last structure built from Roaring Run sandstone was in
1934. The quarries would virtually laid untouched for 70 years.
