The Westerly Granite Companies' Coming and Going
Advertisement
Presented by Hugh Barton
During the course of a century (1850 – 1950), more than 100 granite companies arose in Westerly. At the industry’s peak 20 – 30 companies were operating, so many companies came and went – lasting just years or decades or even a century. The company lifespans and official reports of numbers of workers provide a view of the industry changing over time.
