The north side of Mount Pentelicus remained unused for marbleworks until 1898, when "Marmor Ltd" bought the mining rights from Jacob Steiger and set out to solve the problem of transporting the end product.
It was still the much sought-after fine white stone, but at the beginning of the 20th century the main commercial uses for this were kitchen or bathroom sinks, cemetery crosses and pavements.
A team of marbleworkers from the island of Paros with experience of working on a similar project on the south side of Pendeli were called in.
They had to unearth the unused paths, train tracks and other details of everyday working life in Aloula and then decide how to reconstruct and show them.
They worked particularly hard at reconstructing the house of Aloula himself and were rewarded by finding a large number of rare old quarrying tools in the shed next to it.
