Description
This
photograph
shows
the
West
Side
Dock
on
Kelley’s
Island
. The
West
Dock
was
built
in
1906
by the
Kelleys
Island
Lime
&
Transport
company
and was
located
roughly
in the
middle
of the
west
shore
of the
island
.
Sometimes
called
the
Stone
Dock
,
it
is
elevated
pier
made
of
steel
and
wooden
trestles
, with
railway
tracks
running
along
the
top
, and
designed
to
load
crushed
limestone
into
barges
from
either
side
.
Within
six
years
of
being
built
,
more
than
500,000
tons
were
being
shipped
each
year
with as
many
as
8
steam
locomotives
needed
to
pull
up
to
150
full
train
cars
. The
company's
island
quarrying
operation
comprised
more
than
1,000
acres
;
especially
impressive
considering
the
whole
island
is
only
2,888
acres
. The
lakeside
ore
dock
was
modified
to a "
pocket
"
structure
in
1910
. This
greatly
improved
efficiency
, as
it
allowed
limestone
to be
stored
in
large
bins
until
it
could
be
loaded
onto
ships
.
While
quarrying
continues
to be a
major
industry
on the
island
, The
Kelley
Island
Lime
&
Transport
Company
,
founded
in
1896
, and
which
was
once
the
largest
producer
of
limestone
and
lime
products
in the
world
,
closed
the
early
1960s
.
Numerous
ruins
of these
operations
and
quarries
now
dot
the
island
. The
East
Quarry
closed
in
1940
and
is
now
a
state
park
. The
whole
of
Kelley’s
Island
was
listed
on the
National
Register
of
Historic
Places
in
1975
.
