Cook John F, 615 Pleasant St, East Weymouth, MA 02189, US

In the early 1900's Russell and Earle Bates along with their father Gustave started quarrying granite along the Hingham Weymouth line. In 1920 the brothers incorporated as Bates Brothers Seam Face Granite Co. They operated multiple quarry holes in and amongst a large number of other quarry operators in the area, producing dimensional building stone and crushed aggregates. In 1953 Russell's daughter Mary and her husband Jim Bristol joined the family business and they continue to operate the business to this day. Along the way Jim acquired Bates Bros. neighbor, J. F. Price Co The Price family was producing sand, crushed stone, and aggregate directly adjacent to the Bates Bros. quarry. Bates Bros. and J. F. Price continue quarrying Weymouth granite for both dimensional building stone and crushed aggregate. We have expanded product lines to include materials for landscaping and excavation projects.
