Image Info The workers at the Hallowell Granite Works were multi-national. The majority of cutters and quarry workers came from Italy, Scotland, Spain, Canada and England.

Italians composed the largest group of sculptors and cutters and averaged between $2.80 and $3.20 a day in 1901. Descendants from the Neri, Arata, Masciadri and Rich families still live in Hallowell today.
