I fumbled my math and accidentally made a 12.5" finished block (so it's 13" now). Oops!
on our recent road trip across the western states, one of the highlights was park city. the scenery is stunning, and the place itself has a very friendly and outdoor-oriented feel to it. one of the events happening there was a deep water soloing event called psico bloc masters, featuring some of the best climbers of the world. watching them climbing extremely hard routes, falling off, jumping off the top, and all of this in front of the backdrop of a gorgeous landscape, was a truly memorable experience.
Muscatine, Iowa; built in 1854. Only two sections remain of what was once a five-section block. The other three sections were demolished in 1949.
Farm Girl Vintage block. I made a small mistake on the cherry corners (used 1" squares instead of slightly bigger). Cherry buttons were a lucky find this week.

Gotta love the optical properties of acrylic though!
This is the inside corner of a gass block wall. The colors are from the rooms beyond the wall. This was taken in the waiting room of a car dealership.
"Built in 1884, Central Block was one of the first masonry commercial blocks erected in Pierre and was often referred to as the handsomest building in town. It provided space for two major retail businesses on the first floor, housed several small professional offices on the second floor, and served as a prototype for further business construction in the city during the next 25 years. It is one of the few remaining historic buildings within the city’s original commercial district.
The 1884 Republican Territorial Convention Ball was held in the new Central Block. The ball was the occasion of the grand opening of the building. The Rochester Orchestra entertained several hundred guests.
By 1887, William F. Baird controlled much of Central Block. He was a partner in the Baird, Burke & Brown real estate firm, which continues today as Burke Real Estate. Baird’s wife, Alice, was Pierre’s first female physician, specializing in “diseases of women and children.” She had her practice in the Central Block throughout the 1890’s. In the early 1900’s, Henry R. Horner owned the southern half of the building. Horner served as the 1884 delegate to the Hughes County Republican convention and as Pierre City Attorney. He was elected to the South Dakota Senate in 1893 and 1897. Horner’s law firm, Horner, Martens, and Goldsmith, exists today as May, Adam, Gerdes, and Thompson and is the oldest law firm in South Dakota. Since the building opened in 1884, it has housed grocery, pharmacy, clothing, variety, and appliance stores. In addition, many prominent attorneys, real estate agencies, and health care professionals have had their offices here.
Central Block is a two-story commercial building with a stone foundation and masonry walls. Trimmings are made of St. Louis pressed brick and Kansas stone. The building is designed in the popular Commercial style and has Italianate features. The east façade has glass store fronts with large separate doors for each retailer. A central entry door leads to the second story. The second story fenestration features seven elongated rectangular windows with stone window hoods. The center window is capped with a carved stone plaque with the words “Central Block” in relief. Above the window line is an intricate pressed metal cornice, supported by brick corbelling."--Description from the United States National Park Service, Department of the Interior.
Ever wondered how difficult to come back from some journeys which are once started. Like life of a saint.

A fine example of this kind of statue, which provided a large surface area for inscriptions.

Granite Blocks
Reclaimed bridge and foundation blocks reclaimed from old New England bridge abutments and now defunct foundations in and around the Boston area.
Appearance:
Most of the block material we reclaim originates from the quarries of Cape Ann, MA. Quincy granite is also evident especially in some of the Boston block we reclaimed. Much of this material was quarried in the late 1800’s – early 1900’s. These blocks have a century of aging and weathering. Some in the water, some out… for a real antique look!
Size:
• Always depends on our current bridge reclamation project.
• As for our foundation block inventory – it’s almost always dimensional material and multi sized
• Call for current sizes and availability
Use:
• Retaining wall/seawall block material
• Bench pieces
• Columns for entryways and gates
• Light posts
• Vertical pieces for archways
Sold:
By the pieces, the linear foot and by the ton.
