Amherst Quarries Update

A good friend at work advised me that the building that was photographed in my Amherst Quarries ride could have possibly held a large saw that cut down the quarried sandstone into smaller pieces for transport or purchase. In fact, there was a building just to the south that used to contain one of these saws and where my friend used to pick up sandstone for masonry work.

The green circle used to be the main quarry building and where the large saw was that cut down the sandstone. The saw was about 10 feet tall.
This is the picture I had of the remaining sandstone. This was where the building was my friend picked up sandstone for masonry work. There is nothing left but some sandstone piles now.
This building that I posted before as possibly part of the building I entered I believe is actually now the rubble above.
It is nice to have a possible resolution to my question about the unknown building I was in. It still could have been something else, but at least I know a little more about the main building just to the south that was used in cutting down the sandstone.
