    Carthage Limestone in a Library Building.

    “The Fort Smith Times, in describing the recent dedication of the new public library at Fort Smith, Ark., describes the ceremony minutely as well as the successful completion of the building. Regarding the building material used the paper says: ‘Not all of the beauty of the Carnegie City Library is contained inside its walls, for the building presents a handsome exterior view, chiefly because of the large amount of stone used in its construction. The latter was furnished by the Carthage Superior Limestone Company of Carthage, Mo. This is known as Carthage limestone or marble, and is noted for its great strength, it small ratio of absorption, and is practically impervious to all atmospheric influences. This stone has an exceptional white appearance, which it retains, and, in fact, bleaches whiter in the course of time. The rock face ashler (sic) and stone trimmings are natural stone from the quarry of this company, while the massive columns were cast in place out of Carthage crushed limestone.”

  • Springerville, Arizona - the Madonna of the Trail Statue in Springerville, Arizona, dedicated on September 29, 1928 (photographs)

    The following quotation is from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

    “Madonna of the Trail is a series of monuments dedicated to the spirit of pioneer women in the United States. The monuments were commissioned by the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR). They were placed along the National Old Trails Highway and extended from Bethesda, Maryland, to Upland, California, in each of the 12 states the road passed through.

    “Created by sculptor August Leimbach and funded by contributions, the Madonna of the Trail monuments were intended to provide a symbol of the courage and faith of the women whose strength and love aided so greatly in conquering the wilderness and establishing permanent homes.

    “Dedicated in 1928 and 1929, with each of the 12 located in a different state, they became a source of local pride. Through the continuing efforts of local and national groups, all are currently in good condition and on display....”

    “The figure stands 10 feet high with a weight of 5 tons. The figure and the base are made of algonite stone (a poured mass) of which Missouri granite is used as the main aggregate, thus giving the monument a warm, pink shade. With the base, the monuments are about 18 feet high. The inscriptions on the east and west sides of each base are the same, but the north and south sides of each monument usually include local information as well.”

The building is the highest type construction, designated in San Francisco as Class A. This same quality construction was maintained throughout as was shown in the specification of marble for the interior decorations. For this work Napoleon Gray Marble, furnished by the Tompkins-Kiel Marble Company, was specified. The accompanying view of one of the halls shows this marble in a setting in which only a natural material could be used to maintain the desired effect of stately grandeur. Another view on another page shows columns of Napoleon Gray marble in the main rotunda of the building. The hall was erected at a cost of $500,000. The architect was G.A. Applegarth.”
