- Description:
- Workers for the Blue Ridge Marble Company stand in the quarry at Nelson in Pickens County around 1910. The rich marble deposits of the Murphy Marble Belt, located along the western edge of the Blue Ridge province, gave rise to a booming marble industry in that part of the state during the nineteenth century.
