Montello Granite Works
Elevated view looking west over the Montello Granite Company's works framed by an irregular mask. Two wooden derricks and irregular blocks of granite are in the foreground, with the granite company buildings behind. The long building on the right is the quarry's polishing shed. The roof and tower of the Montello House hotel are in the center background, and Buffalo Lake is seen at far left. An elevated narrow gauge railway leads from between two sheds, curving as it extends left towards the lake. A short greeting is handwritten at the top. Caption reads: "Montello Granite Co's Works, Montello, Wis." |
