Joseph Gibson’s Marble Yard
This very simple structure basically follows through on early 1800 structural procedures. This building was built around 1875 in Elmer, New Jersey. At that time Elmer was a flourishing transportation town. According to the Elmer Times, Elmer’s industries in the early 1900s included two large glass and shoe factories, two saw mills, several feed mills and sewing factories. Over the years Joseph Gibson’s Marble Yard building saw much service, including a tern as the Elmer City Jail.
