R. Sheppard Marble and Stone Works
R. Sheppard Marble and Stone Works was Canadian monumental masonry firm active in nineteenth-century Ontario, located at 171 Queen Street, Toronto, Ontario. Then, “carvers of gravestone were known as marble manufacturers or marble cutters. They ran marble factories or marble works. By the present time most of their names have disappeared into history along with any records or collection of sepulchral designs they may have kept. A few may be found listed in old national or provincial directories, but their places of business have long since disappeared."[1] The address location in Toronto of the Sheppard Works no longer exists. "This number now lies approximately at the junction of Queen Street and University Avenue, an area of eight-lane divided macadam and massive granite buildings. The number 171 no longer exists.”[1]
