Tuckahoe Marble
In 1818, after high-quality white marble was found, the Tuckahoe Marble Quarry opened and soon became a major producer of marble for the world. This marble was used in many famous projects, including the former City Hall for New York City, the Washington Memorial Arch at Washington Square, the General Post Office in Washington, DC, St. Patrick's Cathedral and the main New York City Public Library, and even the bottom third of the Washington Monument in Washington, DC. Tuckahoe marble was discovered near the Bronx River, and is part of the Inwood Formation. It was used for gravestone markers in many cemeteries in the 19th century and the early 20th century until the quarry closed in 1930.
