More About Edison

"Edison's quarry," you can call it that, but the real quarry the limestone came from to make the concrete houses I had in mind, but did not mention, apparently is situated near Stewartsville. Nowhere near the lake Oliver and I may fish. If you click on the link to the Hidden Jersey site, you'll find Edison Portland Cement Company, along with the nearby Vulcanite Company, depleted limestone in the area.

Here is further information and links from Fred:


Work was a little slow so I started playing around.  This Edison Concrete thing really peaked my interest. The man was amazing. The quarry's were down by Stewartsville, nowhere near Tilcon.  Its all across from Montana road (Merrill Creek) so will have to check it out this year.  The other looks like it was reclaimed as farmland, no visible sign of a ditch..
