This derrick from the Mori Quarry can be seen from the Ohio Turnpike (between the St. Route 58 and Baumhart Road exits). This quarry is rumored to have been built around 1950 to cause the Ohio Turnpike to be built further north of the Quarry's property. Named for P.A. Mori, a longtime Cleveland Quarries executive, the Mori quarry is very shallow in depth. Only one derrick, the one seen here, served the Mori Quarry. This quarry is no longer being actively quarried. 2007 Photo by James Hieb with special thanks to Lyle Bennett (posted 6/9/07) - picture copyright information. |
