The Quarry Limekiln, near Erin, Tennessee, dating from around 1873,[2] was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]
It is a "single masonry 'perpetual-burning' limekiln", built of limestone blocks on its exterior and with brick in its interior. It is about 22 feet (6.7 m) tall, on a base about 18 by 20.5 feet (5.5 m × 6.2 m) in size, tapering up to a top that is about 13 by 17 feet (4.0 m × 5.2 m).
It was deemed significant for its association with the lime industry in the history of Houston County (where the lime industry was the most significant industry) and the Middle Tennessee region.[2]
It is located on State Route 49, approximately 0.25 miles east of Denmark Road.[1]
