By the turn of the 20th century, Barre, Vermont, had earned the nickname "the Granite City" for the enormous quarries carved into the hills of nearby Millstone Hill, supplying stone for monuments, buildings, and memorials shipped across North America. The industry drew skilled stonecutters and sculptors from Italy, Scotland, Spain, and Scandinavia, whose distinct ethnic neighborhoods and social clubs gave Barre a cultural diversity unusual for a small Vermont town. This panoramic view captures Barre at the height of its granite boom, when the city's quarries, finishing sheds, and rail lines made it one of the busiest industrial centers in the state.
