For most of his working life, Harry worked in the quarry at Redstone. The quarry shut down during WWII, and reopened for only one job after that - the Masonic Temple in Alexandria VA. While that was a famous job, my personal favorite is the pink foundation stone for "The Hatch Memorial", now much more commonly known as the Hatch Shell. As Harry told it, they cut the stone for the job and sent it down to Boston by train. When it got there, the workmen didn't know how they were supposed to reassemble it. Harry and another man were sent down by train to help them figure it out. Even when he was telling me the story many years after the fact, he was still disgusted with the workers down there - I guess they didn't understand his "Mason's Marks" (literally, no pun intended). The last time that Harry worked in a quarry was in the Albany Quarry in the late 1960s. The stone was brought up to Conway village and shipped south by rail. Later in life, he spent time working at "Heritage, NH", showing his large set of old tools (presumably, many from Horace) to interested tourists. They saw them as antiques, which they were, but he never stopped using them!

| S8. | Stewart, Chris. When Granite was King: Harry Mason Remembers The Quarry That Put Redstone On The Map, The Moutain Ear, 6:20, 16 Oct 1981
"...eighty-three year-old Harry Mason still clearly remembers the way it was. Born and raised in East Conway, Harry first started working for the Maine and New Hampshire Granite Company - owners of the quarry - in 1915. He was seventeen years old. During the next twenty-eight years, Harry worked in several different jobs, starting out by carrying tools, and soon advancing to become a jackhammer operator, then derrick operator and finally the derrick foreman, a post he held for fifteen years."
