Summary
Boston, MA, has a rich legacy of adaptive reuse of aggregate and dimension stone mining sites. The oldest sites are the Tri-mount hills developed into the Beacon Hill area in the early 1800's and the large part of Needham developed during excavation for the Back Bay Fill project of the Civil War. One of the stone quarries for the Massachusetts State Rock, the Roxbury Puddingstone is now a park in the Mission Hill neighborhood. The Old Colony Broken Stone quarry in Quincy now hosts office buildings and nearby Quincy quarries are now a park and housing. The Rowe quarry in Malden/Revere is now the Quarrystone condos. The Mass Broken Stone property in Weston hosts Biogen IDEC's offices, which are cooled with deep quarry water, host a solar power array, and have a 42 acre nature area. In Scituate, the Boston S&G property is now the Widow's Walk Golf Course. The numerous quarries for Milford Pink stone host an interstate, the Quarry Square Shopping Center, and commercial properties. Currently, there are redevelopment plans for operating crushed stone quarries in Ashland (Bayer-Mingolla/Trimount/Agg. Ind.), West Roxbury (W. Rox. Cr. Stone/SM), and in Saugus (Lynn S&S/Agg. Ind.).
