| The
Tennessee Marble Industry was born in 1838 when our magnificent
stone was shipped to the nation's capitol for the construction
of the Washington Monument and U.S. Capitol. Our Tennessee
Marble has been used so extensively throughout Washington
D. C., it is simpler to list those buildings without this
beautiful and decorative stone than the many buildings that
show it on the exteriors, floors, counters, elevators and
walls. Among those buildings that reflect the warm tones of
the this unique American marble are the National Gallery of
Art, The Smithsonian, the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials,
the National Cathedral, and most recently, the U.S. Capitol
Visitors Center. Additionally, Tennessee Marble has been used
in major civic and government buildings throughout the country
from New York to California.
Operating 6 quarries, Tennessee Marble Company is the sole
supplier for this unique stone.
We offer a wide array of services from quarry stone to complete
fabrication, utilizing a trained and dedicated staff to work
with architects and contractors on design and installation
requirements. A variety of domestic marble(s) and limestone
are available in a wide range of colors, finishes, profiles
and sizes.
We thank you for your visit and look forward to showing you
why for almost 2 centuries our marble has been known as The
Stone of Choice.
