A quarry on 900 plus acres and 200 feet deep. Known as the John B. Sullivan quarry when it opened in the early 20th century; the Sullivan Granite Company was organized in 1921. Last operated for dimension stone by the Westerly Granite Company in 1969. Since 2010, the quarry has been leased to and operated by Armetta, LLC (formerly Copar) for crushed stone, though still owned by Westerly Granite Co.
