Marble Works District

Category: Marble

Constructed in the 1800's of limestone and marble the walls of some of these buildings measure from twenty-four to thirty inches thick. This complex was used by the Brandon Italian Marble Company after their mill in Brandon burned down for processing and finishing marble. The company was, for a time, the largest employer in town. The Vermont Marble Company bought out the company in 1909 and operated the plant until the depression in 1931. The mills were later altered and added to for commercial use. Recently the Marble Works Associates purchased the complex and have restored many to their earlier appearance and re-adapted them for a variety of commercial and retail uses.
