The Freeze & Thaw Capabilities of Our World Renowned Stone
The Russell Stone quarries have been in existence since the early 1800's, and the LASTING durability of our stone is one of the qualities that makes it so desirable around the world.

"Rockville Bridge" in Harrisburg was constructed and completed in 1902 by the Pennsylvania railroad. It took 800 workers 2 years to build. It is constructed of approximately 220,000 tons of Bloom Run and Roaring Run sandstone.
Consider this... the 3,820 ft bridge is standing in a river that is 20 feet deep in its shallowest edges and it has withstood freeze and thaw conditions for now over 118 years. It has withstood numerous ice jams, extreme summer heat, some of the worst winter conditions in the north eastern section of the united states. At times as many as 20 trains per day have traveled this bridge for its entire life span and to date not one (1) piece of stone has needed to be replaced.

Summer
Lasting Durability
Summer
Summer brings extreme heat in
certain parts of the country and
although our Sandstone is used
for its beauty... it also has become
known for it's amazing ability NOT
to absorb intense amounts of heat
making it a great product for patios
and walkways. This is quite possibly
one of the only sand stones that
you can walk across in your bare
feet on even the hottest summer
day of the season!
Winter
Summer
Winter brings extreme cold and constant
freezing and thawing. The steps that Rocky ran up at the Philadelphia Art Museum have been in existence for over 100 years and are SALTED - yes salted - numerous times
everyday in the winter. The conditions have
had no affects on our stone.

The Historic Clearfield County jail was erected in 1822. It is still standing today and was recently purchased to be the
home of a new distillery. It has been part of the Clearfield community for almost 200 years. In the flood of 1936 - the water was 20 feet high around the base and the building is still standing strong today and ready for the next 200 years!
