Building Stones of Downtown Chattanooga, a 63 page booklet by the late Rock Wilson, provides detailed descriptions of building stones at 39 downtown locations. The booklet also provides an overview of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, the stone industry, and the geology of the Chattanooga area. This digital version of the booklet is as faithful as possible to the original. The text was reproduced using a flatbed scanner and "ocr" (optical character recognition) software. Tables and illustrations are digital reproductions. Photographs were scanned and were digitally retouched. The entire booklet is contained in 3 "pdf" (portable document format) files that require Adobe Acrobat Reader. bsdc.pdf (160 K) includes the text, tables, and line-drawing illustrations. bsdc_figures.pdf (440 K) includes figures 1 through 8. bsdc_photos.pdf (1 Mb) includes photographs of the 39 locations. This booklet was written in 1979. Chattanooga has changed dramatically since then; some of the buildings described in this booklet have been modified; some have changed names; and many new buildings have been built. This digital version of the booklet has not been updated with respect to its content. None the less, the booklet remains useful. |
