James Bruce

(1823-1898)

 

Born in Scotland, James Bruce learned of the local dolomite stone as an I&M Canal construction foreman. Canal workers had to blast through the stone, and used it to build the canal’s locks and walls. Bruce later used the stone to make his fortune, opening quarries in Joliet and Lockport that employed hundreds of workers.
