Steeped in Stone and History According to company archives and historical records, Fletcher also operated a construction business until 1915 and invested in other granite companies and a slate company. He was very active in town government and served as a state representative in the late 1800s and a state senator from 1901 to 1903.

The very earth, what it is and what it holds, has been the literal bedrock of a reputable, solid company since 1881. One of the oldest quarries and fabricators in the country, H.E. Fletcher Granite Co. LLC of Westford, has been mining the stone fruits of Massachusetts for nearly 130 years and see FLETCHER page 4 counting, an impressive milestone for any industry in any nation of the industrial world. In 1881, 18-year-old Herbert Ellery Fletcher, son of a prominent family in the Chelmsford area, founded his quarry by extracting granite and other stone on the family’s land in Westford, Mass., which was known as West Chelmsford at the time. Robert Fletcher, an ancestor of the family, was one of the first settlers and founders of the Town of Chelmsford in the mid-1600s. What started as a mere hole in the ground has been in continuous operation since. Fletcher Granite’s officers (L-R) are Vic Castellani, chairman and The company, located at 534 Groton Road, CEO; David Psaledas, Sr. operations manager; Bill Walker, curb was incorporated in Massachusetts in 1924. sales manager; and Tom Hannover, manager.
