Hallowell, ME – AUGUST 18: The Longfellow Quarry is one quarry where granite was mined on Granite Hill in Hallowell. The quarry off of Winthrop Street was abandoned following the rise of steel as a building material. “They no longer needed to pile big granite blocks on top of each other in order to build buildings,” said Bob McIntire, chair of the Historic Hallowell Committee.
