Building Stone deals with the quarrying of granite, limestone, slate and other building stone. Included are pictures of the largest cathedrals of Europe and America, the beautiful temples of Indian, and the Lincoln, Washington and Stone Mountain Memorials of our own country. STONE Magazine and some of the leading industrial concerns aided in the making of these films. Among them are: Sullivan Granite Co.; Vendor Slate Co.; Hallowell Granite Co.; Vermont Marble Co.; John A. Roebling’s Sons; National Slate Association; S. W. Straus & Co., and the Rutland Chamber of Commerce.”

(Book description: “After some 25 years of exploring the impact of industry on our planet, the celebrated Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky has accumulated a substantial body of work documenting the world's major quarries - in Canada, Italy, China, Spain, Portugal, India and America. Quarries are, of course, a crucial source for the buildings we construct, and as such, a negative correlative of what we add to the world - as well as a tangible (and neglected) evidence for our ongoing dependence on its resources. Somewhere a building is being created while a landscape is being destroyed, and, as Burtynsky writes, ‘quarries are places that are outside of our normal experience, yet we partake of their output on a daily basis.’ His images of these plundered landscapes are simultaneously beautiful and disquieting.”)
