Item consists of a black and white photographic print. Part of an album labelled Canada Crushed Stone Corp. Ltd., Dundas, Ont. Caption: 4th weeks’ progress May 29, 1922. Image shows the progress made re-building the screen house. The conveyor galleries have not been framed yet.

On April 29, 1922, workers were welding spouts to the new shaking screens when a stray piece of molten metal set fire to a partition wall.

It took only 50 working days to re-build these structures and return Canada Crushed Stone Corp. to full operation.
