Ernest Richardson has built two on the western side, Rolf Motz built a cottage close to the road on the eastern shore which he sold in 1935 to Mrs. O. C. Nutting. There are several others which have been owned by different people, and Ernest Richardson has a store and some overnight camps built in 1935-6 close to the road." – “Traditions and Records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine” by Mrs. Seth S. Thornton, 1938, p. 257. For some time Ernest was in business with his friend Otto Clyde Nutting (1875-1972) [O.C. Nutting] with whom he went hunting and fishing.

McMullen Quarry
  • Reference
  • Businesses, Quarry Operation
  • Mount Desert, Hall Quarry
This quarry was "in the town of Mount Desert, southeast of the village of 'Hall Quarry' and four-fifths mile north of the Robinson Mountains." The operator was the Booth Bros. & Hurricane Isle Granite Co., 208 Broadway, New York. The granite was reportedly a light-buff grayish color with a coarse to medium texture. Accessory minerals: Apatite and a little secondary calcite within the oligoclase. Granite quarrying began as early as 1870 on Mount Desert Island at Hall's Quarry. Four major companies operated at Hall's Quarry from 1870 to 1965, the first being the Standard Granite Company, followed by McMullen Granite Co., Booth Brothers and Hurricane Island Granite Company and Grenci and Ellis Granite Co. All shipped stone for major building contracts all over the United States. In 1905 the quarry measured 250 feet north to south by 250 feet from east to west. The quarry had a depth of 50 feet at the west side. Transport of the granite was by track 800 feet to the wharf, which was accessible to schooners of 20 feet draft. Granite from this quarry was used in the following examples: the United States Mint in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; the basement of the New York Customhouse; the Brooklyn anchorage to the Manhattan Bridge; and the bridge over the Potomac at Washington. The Commercial Granites of New England, Bulletin 738 By T. Nelson Dale - Department of the Interior, United States Geological Survey - Government Printing Office, Washington, 1923. - p. 222-223
