Four small old, abandoned quarries that worked the same pegmatite along the SE side of the gas pipeline just SW of Dayton Road. Coordinates are for the northernmost quarry (#1), see sublocalities for locations of each quarry.
The quarry referenced by Foye (1922) is not this quarry but the Howe #1 Quarry http://www.mindat.org/loc-11896.html (worked earlier by Joshua and William Huspband, leading to locality confusion and overlapping mineral lists).
