Granite Columns Made In Philadelphia For New York Cathedral
The New York Tribune reports huge granite columns to adorn the Episcopal Cathedral of St John the Divine in Manhattan. Blocks from Vinalhaven Maine travel by lathe built in Philadelphia, shaping a 54 feet long column 6 feet in diameter, weighing 160 tons when finished. The process uses a monumental lathe to forge stone with rotating headstock and tailstock, followed by multi-stage polishing over six weeks per column.
