Graniteville Historic District
Graniteville Historic District, Historic residential district in Waterford, United States.
The district contains 31 historical buildings along Rope Ferry Road, including worker residences and the 1878 Graniteville School at number 239.
The granite quarrying industry in Waterford began in 1737 with Edward Buor's operation at Millstone Point, which supplied stones for grist mills.
The granite industry brought workers from Ireland, England, Scotland, Italy, and Scandinavia to Waterford during the nineteenth century.
The district includes three separate sections, with two former quarry sites located to the west and northwest of the residential area.
The John Palmer house at 218 Rope Ferry Road exhibits Italianate architecture from 1860 and belonged to a prominent quarry proprietor.
