These architectural artifacts from historic
Concord buildings—pilaster capitals, gargoyles,
cornices and other decorative stonework—are displayed here...
In celebration of
Concord's Architectural Heritage
whose richness and variety make our city a
living museum of architectural styles;
In honor of
Concord's Artists and Craftsmen
whose skills and artistry over the years have
created wonders on stone and made Concord
Granite famous throughout the United States; and
In special recognition of
Martin L. Gross,
Mayor of Concord, 1976 - 1981.
Whose leadership, persistence and vision have
contributed so much to the economic
revitalization of downtown Concord,
a revitalization built upon the recognition,
the preservation, and ultimately our
simple enjoyment of Concord's architectural
and historic heritage.
