Abstract:

The North Carolina Granite Corporation was one of the first commercial natural stone businesses in the state. Since 1889, craftsmen in Mt. Airy have been producing \"granite structures that set the standards for the entire granite industry.\" The company received the Tucker Award in 1977, presented by the Building Stone Institute, for the most outstanding stone structure completed in the last two years. The award was for the Dilworth Plaza in Philadelphia.
