Notes

Description: Black and white photograph from approximately 1935 showing broken grindstone in a field at Grindstone City, Michigan. The city was founded around the grindstone quarries, with its primary industry focused on this finest of abrasive stones. After World War I, carborundum replaced grindstone, destroying the industry of the town and the town itself. The city is alternatively spelled Grind Stone City.
