At the north end of Division Street, where lane turns off to North Bay

During the "hey-day" of the quarry operations by the Kelley Island Lime and Transport Company, the quarries (north, east, and west) employed over four hundred men at a time. Many of these were seasonal workers, some coming all the way from southern and eastern Europe.

To house some of these workers, a large, two-story dormitory, whimsically called the "Incubator," was built in the area where now the glacial grooves are to be seen. To supply bread for these "itinerant" workers were two bake ovens. One, destroyed when the grooves were excavated, was located ;just west of the Incubator. The other, still standing, is this one at the north end of Division Street. Built c. 1875)

A second large building stood on the open space at the north end of Division Street. It was used as a general store for quarry workers and later as a net house and boat storage spare for the commercial fishermen. It was destroyed some years ago when the state of Ohio acquired title to the land.
