Title A name given to the resource Travels with Balfour Pink Description An account of the resource A few years ago, Rowan Public Library was given a collection of glass slides from a local family. These magic lantern slides documented various paving and curbing projects done throughout the United States in the early 1900s. Many skilled stone workers came to Rowan County from Great Britain in the early 20th Century to work in the granite industry including the Kirchin family. Both father and son worked as stone cutters for the Harris Granite Quarries Company, world-renown for Balfour Pink “The Granite Eternal.” This granite was used for many projects all over the United States and Europe, particularly as paving stones and memorials. As society moved from horse drawn carts and carriages to motorcars, a smooth and even surface was felt to be imperative. Many of the glass slides offer a glimpse of American street scenes in the first quarter of the Twentieth Century.

Title A name given to the resource Kirchin038 Description An account of the resource This is a view of Haymarket Square from 20 Canal Street looking south in Boston, Massachusetts. The photo was taken on September 17, 1917. The street is in good shape, with streetcar tracks clearly visible. The short building in the right foreground is a subway station. Several advertisements are visible. One for the Blackstone and one touting Utopian Chocolates. The top of the Custom House Tower in barely visible just behind the Utopian Chocolates sign.
