The Merrimack Manufacturing Company’s Chimney at Lowell, Mass
The Merrimack Manufacturing Company's chimney, built by Staples Bros., under the direction of J. T. Baker, between May 22d and October 23d, 1882 (see Plates VII and VIII), is founded on a ledge of quartzose sandstone. The top of the ledge on the northwest side of the chimney is 4 feet below the surface of the ground, and about 10 feet below the surface on the southeast side. The top of the ledge was roughly broken off to bring it, by stepping, to approximately horizontal beds; it was then leveled up to the highest point with stone, laid in Portland cement, without sand.
