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.
