What is believed to be the Oldest
boom derrick existing in Barre, located |
at the Sullivan shed in the Depot (
square district near Hoyt & Mines !
shed, has been lowered to the ground |
for repairs. This derrick belonged. in |
the pioneer days of the granite indus. |
try, to the Vermont Granite company |
At that time the derrick was almost |
surrounded with the old style circle |
sheds. Regardless of its age and his
tory, the old derrick will hold its dig
nitied form at the same site, but will |
have many Of the modern fixtures of
boom derricks when it is again erected.
Parts necessary for the improvements
are being made at the Smith, Whit
comb & Cook machine shop, and as
soon as these are completed The derrick
will be put into use again. The Sulh.
van shed is also undergoing many re-
pairs, These changes are being made
by the granite firm of Russell 4 ca.
