Griffith Quarry, a registered California Historical Landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was a former granite quarry near Penryn, California.
The quarry produced high-quality granite used to construct many buildings in San Francisco and Sacramento, including parts of the California State Capitol.
[3] The 23 acres (9.3 ha) that surround the 2-storey building, made of granite blocks, are the remains of the quarry and its polishing mill.
These trails take visitors through the ruins of the polishing mill and some of the quarry holes from which granite was taken.
