The Pickard Quarry (at the end of Quarry Lane off Salem and Pickard off York St.) was opened in 1883 to obtain stone for the construction of Centennial Hall at Mount Allison. The original proprietor, Charles Pickard, was a stone merchant and later mayor of Sackville. The quarry had 25 employees and produced 5,000 to 8,000 tons of stone annually. Buildings constructed out of stone from the Pickard quarry in Sackville are: 1. The original Royal Bank (some of the original pink stone remains at the left of the entrance). 2. The Bank of Montreal, Moncton. 3. The Royal Observatory, Ottawa. 4. The Bank of Nova Scotia, Truro. 5. Carnegie Library, Saint John. 6. Legislative Building, Toronto. 7. Customs House, Waterloo. 8. Customs House, Halifax. Stone from the Pickard quarry was used in over one dozen buildings at Mount Allison. The quarry was finally closed in October, 1979, after stone was extracted to become part of the Roy Crabtree building.
