ca. 1926. Walker Cut Stone Company, view of rock quarry in Wilkeson. From 1914 until 1959, the stone quarry was operated by Robert Walker of the Walker Cut Stone Co. Located about a quarter mile up and to the left of the town, the Wilkeson stone quarry was a section of hillside 250 feet high and 175 feet across. It required three cranes to move the men and equipment up to the platforms located on the face of the sandstone. The temporary platforms were moved as the men worked about the face of the stone. Wilkeson sandstone had waterproof qualities and was highly valued as a durable building material. TPL-976 ("Carbon River Coal Country" by Nancy Irene Hall)

ca. 1926. Walker Cut Stone Company, view of rock quarry in Wilkeson. A large block of stone is being hoisted out of the quarry. The rock they removed had to come down in solid square pieces, averaging 30 tons each. The stones were then loaded onto railroad cars to be sent to Tacoma for processing. Wilkeson sandstone was used frequently as a building material in Tacoma and around the state. ("Carbon River Coal Country" by Nancy Irene Hall)
