France Stone Co. "East" Quarry
The Hanson Aggregates Midwest, Inc. “East” Quarry is part of an active quarry located in W ½, section 17, Silica, Sylvania Township, Ohio. According to Carlson (1991, 2015), the rocks exposed in the quarry belong to the Silurian Detroit River Group (Amherstburg Dolomite, the Lucas Dolomite and the Anderson Limestone). It is currently operated by Hanson Aggregates Midwest, Inc., formerly the France Stone Company.
In the late 1950's, the France Stone Company completed a pass underneath the Centennial Road and opened the France Stone Company “West” Quarry, to quarry out the Dundee Limestone and the France Stone Co. idled the eastern side for several years (Kesling, 1978). In the mid-1990's, Hanson Aggregates acquired the France Stone Company and continues to quarry out this locality.
Although the names are extremely similar and very close to each other, this quarry should not be confused with the France Stone Company “West” Quarry in section 18 and the France Stone Company “North Quarry” in section 7.
