In the early twentieth century MKS provided an extremely durable, premium building stone for bridges, depots and warehouses constructed to support the railroads’ western progress. In ensuing years, particularly after World War I, stone supplied by Mankato Kasota Stone, Inc. became increasingly popular for use in the construction of institutional and commercial buildings throughout the Midwestern and Eastern United States. During this period many post offices, cathedrals, universities, museums and federal buildings utilized the stone quarried by Mankato Kasota Stone, Inc.
