Marble 



The marbles of the State are confined to two main areas : 

 Gouverneur, St Lawrence county and southeastern New York. 



The Gouverneur stone is a rather coarse grained gray or 

 bluish marble taking a good polish. It is quarried as " light," 

 " medium," " dark " and " extra dark." It is utilized largely for 

 monumental work and as dressed building stone. 



In Dutchess county, near South Dover, a handsome white 

 marble, equal to much of the imported stone, is extensively 

 quarried and shipped to many points in the Eastern States. Its 

 uniformity of color, its beauty and durability warrant for it a 

 more extended use. It is to be hoped that with the two well 

 equipped firms in activity the stone will become more widely- 

 known.
